activiating restricted video drivers kills X sony viao VGN-Z12GN with nVidia GeForce 9300M GS and Mobile 4 Series Chipset

Asked by orange

Basically,

In Jaunty Alpha 5 fully updated as of Sat Feb 28 04:12:22 SAST 2009 (GMT+2), on a Sony Viao VCN-Z12GN with the following cards:

lspci|grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 9300M GS (rev a1)

enabling the restricted drivers results in a non-working X system :(

let me know what is needed for people to look at this - I suspect it has something to do with the two video cards in the machine.

It seems this has been reported as a bug already so, no doubt it's being looked into by developers along with similar issues for the next alpha release of Jaunty. Thanks for reporting this :)

Good luck and regards from
