Description Pierre Jarillon 2012-05-19 16:09:42 CEST
Description of problem:
âHardware detected: NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro]
âModule installed by default: Card: NVIDIA RIVA TNT to GeForce 2

But it gives a black screen, the keyboard is completely dead and only a hard reset can go out from this state.
In drakx11, The test of the video locks and never come back to the previous state after the time-out.

I have tried other drivers: Nouveau cannot work, only nv works.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Still true with Mageia 2. I need to start in single-user mode, run drakx11, select nv and reboot.

Version: Cauldron => 2

I have the same problem on my system. my card is "GeForce 6800 GTO". I also had to change to nv driver and blacklist the nouveau driver. I had to run "dracut --force" to get a display of any kind. Thank God for Secure SHell. ;-)=

Look at  

MCC -> set up the graphical server -> options -> 
Enable Translucency (Composite extention). 

Uncheck it.  The option only appears for drivers that support it; nVidia, nouveau, don't know about nv, not VESA.

Comment 6 Manuel Hiebel 2013-10-22 12:10:56 CEST
This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'.

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 2'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 2 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 2 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''22 November''. Mageia 2 is no
longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or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.
