https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=406960 Summary: incorrect detection of nvidia video card when using liveCD Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: jan.smout@gmail.com QAContact: sax2-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=226366) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=226366) xorg.conf file, containing described workaround When booting the liveCD for openSuSE 11.0, X is not started automatically. Problem is that the driver that is written in xorg.conf does not work as expected. The liveCD autodetection uses the "nsc" driver. /var/log/Xorg.0.log ends with:
>>> log starts here <snip>.... (EE) No devices detected
Fatal server error: no screens found <<<<<<<< log ends here The machine is a Dell Precision M4300 laptop. Workaround: When I login as root and manually change "nsc" to "nv" and restart xdm, things work as expected (resulting xorg.conf file is attached).
