Can you reproduce that with XFdrake ?

If I launch XFdrake I have the report :

Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2011-10-13 14:08:10 CEST 
arf that don't help :/

Comment 4 Jacques Pronchery 2011-10-13 14:53:38 CEST 
Yes, but I don't know how help you.
I cannot determine if the driver has a bug or if the use is not correct.

Comment 5 Jacques Pronchery 2011-12-03 07:57:35 CET 
For my X card GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
The installer choose the driver "GeForce 6100 to GeForce 360"
the test say it's not good (DRM)
and then kdm and gdm don't start. I can start lxde in a console with "startx".
But mysqld and httpd don't start it say that nouveau_dri.so doesn't exists.
If I change for "GeForce 400 series and later" driver it's better but the screen is shifted on the left.

If I install Mageia without X, it boot OK. And then I install :
urpmi -a xorg
urpmi -a x11
urpmi -a lxde
and I launch "startx" without configuration, all is OK
only one problem : /dev/fb0 desn't exists but it works.
Then if I install mysql and apache by 
urpmi mysql and urpmi apache
mysqld and httpd work OK.
Comment 6 Jacques Pronchery 2011-12-03 10:14:44 CET 
This bug exists allways with the new driver "nouveau".
Comment 7 Jacques Pronchery 2011-12-07 15:31:39 CET 
Created attachment 1191 [details]
/var/log/messages file when there are problems

Here is the log file "messages" when there are problems.
Comment 8 Jacques Pronchery 2011-12-14 14:00:11 CET 
During the boot I have the message :

Warning : deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config file belong into /etc/modprobe.d/

If I delete the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, when X try to start I have the message :

Detected a loaded display driver kernel module which conflicts with the driver the X server is configured to use. Startup of the X server may now fail.
Comment 9 Jacques Pronchery 2011-12-16 11:36:54 CET 
Since Mageia alpha2 it is impossible to install something with X.
Comment 10 Jacques Pronchery 2012-01-02 22:33:07 CET 
Now X works fine.
Comment 11 Manuel Hiebel 2012-01-20 12:37:02 CET 
And is the initial bug resolved ?
Comment 12 Jacques Pronchery 2012-01-20 18:57:37 CET 
Yes it is, you can close this bug.
Comment 13 Remco Rijnders 2012-01-22 10:14:29 CET 
Resolved, as per Jacques' comment.
