New hardware breaks video device
No idea, and cannot find a clue. When I start Ubuntu 5.10 after having plugged in the wireless card, the wireless card is recognized and works fine (although not on 5.04). But my xorg.conf doesn't work. Something weird is happening with my video. From dmesg:
[4294758.173000] agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0. [4294758.173000] agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 4x mode [4294758.173000] agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:02:00.0 into 4x mode [4294764.798000] NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x12:0x3a:1167) [4294764.798000] NVRM: rm_init_adapter(0) failed
Xorg fails with a message that tells me it cannot read or write or something from /dev/nvidia0. Of course the permissions on that device are crw-rw-rw-, so something weird is going on. I reinstalled the packages thinking perhaps something had gotten corrupted, but that didn't help.
Too tired to think about it now. Going to bed.
