[Bug 309482] Re: jaunty: Kubuntu OEM enduser setup fails with black screen (nv driver fails)

[Bryce Harrington]

The kwin issue may be due to trying to use "vesa" (which doesn't support
compiz, which kwin requires afaik).  But report that separately as it's
not an -nv issue.

If you want the -vesa crash investigated as well, file a new bug for
that, with a full backtrace of the xserver when running with "vesa"
(directions for this are available at
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing).

As far as it not using -nv, it looks like the GeForce 7100 is not listed
as supported in -nv yet (despite what 'man nv' seems to claim).  So yes
this hardware will require using -nvidia for now.  You can see what pci
id's that the -nv driver supports by looking in /usr/share/xserver-
xorg/pci/nv.ids.  You can also try forcing it by inserting "10de016a"
into that file; no idea if that will work though.

Anyway, that third issue is indeed an -nv problem, so we'll focus on
that for this bug report.
