[Bug 549559] Re: boot black screen

[durango]

Asus N61 JV Laptop

Boots normally with software raster glx support in a full lucid install
.

With jockey ( nvidia via package mananger ) or nvidia proprietory install the system boots 
to a black screen ,and another operating system must be used to revert to the original xorg config
or no config .

The nouveau module when loaded also produces amount of NAK's from what appears to be 
the unaddressed "behind " bus controller (primary  intel ) of the nvidia GPU .

Please see attached logs and lspci outputs .
 
 
 These ACPI commands work to switch the nvidia gt325m card on and off  are also some other 
commands which work but appear to have errors due to a behind main pci bus error
 ,ie GPU or bus controller not recognised .
 
 This error is apparent on kernel 2.6.3# compiled with debugging acpi and i2c bus ,even after 
modifying the i2c in arch and the nvidia i2c module.
 
 ACPI Commands that work :
 
  '\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.PRST'
  '\_SB.PCI0.PEGR.GFX0.PRST '
  '\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.CBLV'
  '\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.PRST'
  '\_SB.PCI0.PEGR.GFX0._ON'     "#Power GPU ON "
  '\_SB.PCI0.PEGR.GFX0._PS0'
  '\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.TSDS'
  '\_SB.PCI0.PEGR.GFX0._OFF'   "#-Powers GPU OFF"
  '\_SB.PCI0.PEGR.GFX0._ON'
  '\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.TSES'
  '\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.HLMX'
  '\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.HCMX'
  '\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.HCMM'
  '\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.HHMM'
  '\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.HLMX'
  '\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.HHMM)'
  '\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.HLMX)'
  '\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.HDMX)'
  '\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.HHMX)'
  '\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.HWHG' --------------------- semi works ,can cause full lockup like DDIS to switcheroo
  '\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.HDVG'   -------------------- successful but bus knocks back with i2c errors and AE_PARAMETERS not found .
  \_SB.PCI0.GFX0.HDVG' -----------------------see below  like running nvidia-smi -l ,the behind bus controller or nvidia controller  
     -----------------------------------------------------some acpi commands are recognised.
  '\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.HGAP'

Nvidia proprietary driver install produces this error when card access is attempted or
nvidia-settings or nvidia-smi -l is invoked .


after changing nv-reg.h with vbios off and re-compiling ,kernel boot param iommu=memaper
