[Therion] Loch fails to start in Debian

[Bjørn Egil Johansen]

Thanks for replies.

I have now tried the Nouveau driver, and Loch works.

Unfortunately I experience quite a lot of other problems with the nouveau
driver. When booting with the nouveau driver I end up with a black screen,
I need to use the acpi=off linux boot parameter to not get a black screen,
but then I am not able to choose a higher screen resolution. This was the
reason I changed to the propietary driver in the first place. This makes
the nouveau driver not much of an option unless I can solve this problem,
but I guess that is outside the scope of this list.

Anyway, it then seems like my loch-problem is somehow related to the
propietary nvidia driver.

Best regards
Bjørn Egil
