Description Jaromír Cápík 2012-02-21 22:14:16 CET
Description of problem:
The following card is detected as vesa whilst it works correctly with the nouveau driver:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 430] [10de:0de1] (rev a1)

It would be nice to add a new NAME in the 'Cards+' definition and change the 'pcitable' mapping accordingly.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.1.291-9.mga1

How reproducible:
always

What's the result of "lspcidrake -v | egrep 'Card|VGA'" ?

Thierry, his card is correctly assigned to the GeForce 400+ group. However, those cards were set to use vesa instead of nouveau in MGA1 (IIRC I wasn't sure the support worked correctly). In hindsight, assigning them to nouveau instead would've probably been better, but I guess we don't want to change all of them now from vesa to nouveau, as there could be regressions... Or do you think we should do that (vesa is quite bad with modern displays, already)?

If not, I guess we could change his single card from vesa to nouveau.
Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2012-02-22 12:17:36 CET
We could do the later.

@ Thierry

I'm not sure the "lspcidrake -v | egrep 'Card|VGA'" output is still needed. Is it?

@ Jaromir

No reply from Thierry, but since this is nearly no work: please provide the output of

lspcidrake -v | egrep 'Card|VGA'
Comment 8 Thierry Vignaud 2012-05-04 00:03:06 CEST
This is not needed anymore.
For the record, this is fixed in mga2
Comment 9 Jaromír Cápík 2012-05-04 15:04:38 CEST
Hi Thierry.

I know it's fixed in mga2, but we wanted the change in mga1 (mga2 is not production ready yet).

It is now. Does it work for you?
Comment 11 Jaromír Cápík 2012-06-05 18:51:39 CEST
Hi Marja.

'Released' doesn't mean 'production ready'.
I knew very well that it works correctly in mga2 when I was submitting this bug.
This bug was intended as a request for back propagation to mga1 and it's still valid.
I could fix it by myself, but this needs to be accepted by Thierry first, because he's the ldetect-lst maintainer and I don't wanna go against his intentions.

Regards,
Jaromir.
Comment 12 Thierry Vignaud 2012-06-06 10:07:45 CEST
You can change it in ldetect-lst branch for mga1 and submit an update package but I am not sure it's worth it

This message is a reminder that Mageia 1 is nearing its end of life. 
In approximately 25 days from now, Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing 
updates for Mageia 1. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it 
remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '1'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version prior to Mageia 1's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not 
be able to fix it before Mageia 1 is end of life.  If you would still like to see 
this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, 
you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version 
of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Mageia 1 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''1st December''. Mageia 1 is no 
longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or 
bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. 

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia 
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
