Created attachment 23387 [details] Xorg.0.log showing a vesa boot Forwarding this bug from a Ubuntu reporter: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nv/+bug/309482 [Problem] The GeForce 7100 (10de:016a) is not listed in nv_driver.c, causing a fallback to the vesa driver when booting X on this hardware. (This subsequently causes kwin to fail and a black screen to be displayed instead, but that's a separate issue.) [Original Report] RELEASE: Jaunty CD/DVD VARIANT: 32/64 bit Kubuntu desktop cd ISO BUILD: 20081218.5 SYMPTOMS: In oem mode once the enduser has run through the 4 setup question the screen flickers as though to go into the new desktop or kdm. Instead you are presented with a black screen with a white outlined black cross on it an nothing else. CAUSE: Unknown STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1/ install oem version of Kubuntu 2/ Oem side is correct restart into enduser mode 3/ End user mode works till you see the screen flicker ready for the new kdm or user desktop 4/ At this point you get the black screen with the white outlined black cross.
Created attachment 23816 [details] [review] 0001-Add-missing-pci-id-for-GeForce-7100-GS.patch Original reporter says just adding the pci id seems to resolve the issue.
Thanks Bryce, patch pushed. Please note though that as I mentioned before, it's a bug in Ubuntu that it doesn't take the NVIsSupported and NVIsG80 PCI ID wildcards into account. Adding an entry to the chip table when it's already in NVIsSupported should *only* change the name printed in the log and should not otherwise change the behavior of the driver. commit b278aca7d7b92b7fd62045d1aab44d78f694d608 Author: Bryce Harrington <bryce@bryceharrington.org> Date: Thu Mar 12 16:56:57 2009 -0700 Add missing pci id for GeForce 7100 GS Signed-off-by: Bryce Harrington <bryce@bryceharrington.org> Signed-off-by: Aaron Plattner <aplattner@nvidia.com> :100644 100644 faf73a9... 20f96fb...

Sorry, I must have missed your earlier comment about this. Can you provide a reference or git commit id I should include for that? Thanks

I'm sorry Bryce, I misremembered. For some reason I thought I'd talked to you about it but as Julien kindly pointed out, it was actually Alberto.
