Ahh, I think I've had that bug too. Basically I'd power the laptop on and the machine would get as far as loading drivers then hang. I had it on my TODO list to eventually track down which driver, but lately I've noticed this has stopped happening. So slowly we're getting the upper hand in this fight. It's a pity that Nvidia don't direct more resources to supporting the Nouveau driver. I've vowed to never buy an Nvidia card again due to their poor support of their cards. (I don't consider a proprietary driver as "support", more a cop-out and a support head-ache.) It's thanks to teams like Nouveau that I can make reasonable use of the two Nvidia-based systems I have at all. For this, I thank-you.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
