Yesterday I bought a system with a Gigabyte 965P-DS3 mb, Intel Core2Duo and 2GB mem, with a Club 3D 8800GTS installed.

Installation of 11.1b5 x86_64 went smoothly, up till the configuration of the graphical card. Screen went black, no cursor. I could go to vt01, log in and run Sax2, but again a black screen, and now the keyboard was locked too.

Installing 11.0 final went well all the way.

I didn't find a related bug for 11.1 but may have overlooked it of course.

I'm downloading 11.1RC1 at the moment, but is there any hope things will be better wirt RC1?

regards, Jogchum

Well, replying to my own post...

I've been installing RC1 on this machine:

- doing that as an update of 11.0 goes well - doing it as a fresh install still gives the above described problem.

I'm entering bugzilla...

regards, Jogchum

My bet is that sax was choosing the fbdev and the driver for you nvidia card. I got a screen with the 8800GT, but it looked worse than an old green phosphor telex terminal. I hope they get this fixed. No reason not to set the driver to 'nv' for nvidia cards and 'radeon' for ATI cards, but beginning after 10.3 sax2 has just been buggy as hell. I don't know what happened to it. -- David C.
