Please ignore this bug. An bios upgrade to version A15 fixed it.

hello Reporter,

I might just have hit the same bug. I wonder what bios you were using before the upgrade?

I still use a rather old bios since newer versions did create issues with linux some years ago. And nvidia driver always worked until now in dapper.

I will try this bios upgrade

with geforce2, you must use nvidia-glx-legacy.

You don't use legacy with "geforce2 go". See the README file.

This is fixed in 7.10. Only the supported driver is allowed to be loaded on the system.

Changed in linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15:
status: New → Fix Released

Now I'm a bit confused. Which is the supported driver?

Sorry, I was a bit vague.. I meant that the newest driver that supports the card will be loaded (nvidia-glx-legacy -> nvidia-glx -> nvidia-glx-new). So if only the legacy driver supports your card, that will be used.
