I've got a i810 card on my motherboard at pci:0:1:0, which is bypassed
in the BIOS, and a pci nvidia card on pci:1:9:0, which is activated by
the BIOS.
dapper-rc install cd used the correct nvidia for the installation,
but, when it first booted, it froze when X started. I rebooted in
recovery mode and had to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the other card.
It incorrectly showed:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 CGC [Chipset
Graphics Controller]"
Driver "i810"
BusID "PCI:0:1:0"
EndSection
I changed it to:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia GeForce4 MX4000"
Driver "nv"
BusID "PCI:1:9:0"
EndSection
..
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
# Device "Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 CGC [Chipset
Graphics Controller]"
Device "Nvidia GeForce4 MX4000"
..
and rebooted successfully into kubuntu. I wonder why the installer
correctly picked the nvidia card, but the X configure script picked
the wrong one?
HTH someone else.
