Hi,
I installed LMCE 0704 last week with a ATI Card and all went fine ( DVD Version)
This Week i got me an nvidia Card (7600 GS AGP) an my system crashed after the first reboot at a point where the Kubuntu-startup-bar was nerly finished.
Suddenly the picture goes cracy and it looks like an old CRT at too high frequencies.
Anything i could test or is it the wrong card?
Thx Navy
you did try booting again right? you said after your first one....was there a second? mines done that before...i also get a weird thing where the keyboard lights flash ....but nothing loads....i just restart and its fine.
try to get to a shell alt-f1 alt-f2 etc. and then check dmesg and your xorg log (get the latest one in /var/log/)
i rebootet a lot after the first one ;) dont helped
xorg.log has one error stating tha glx could not load ant thats true because in the xorg.conf the driver is "vesa"
im not at my box now but i will check dmesg, thx
Ok, it was a compatibilityproblem. I had a strange error like "could not allocate Mem to PCI:0:0:1" directly after the kernel loads from the cd.
I removed my DVS-S Card ( Hauppauge Nova SE2 ) from the system ant it works just perfect. Maybe i ned a newer mainboard to support both at the same time
Ok, solved the Problem.
The Error was " PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource XXXXXXXXXXXX for XXXXXXXXXXX "
Solution: agp aperture size in BIOS to 256MB and all is perfectly fine
