290.06 does not recognize internal laptop display

[Gusar]

As the title says, the 290.06 driver does not see the internal display and hence X errors out with "no screens found". No full bug report for now, as I've reverted back to 275.28 to have a working machine, but the relevant part from Xorg.0.log is this:

Compare that to the working 275.28:

The logs tell you which graphic card I have, Geforce Go 6600.

Hi there

I have the same problem with driver version 290.03 and 290.06.

The configuration stored in xorg.conf works well with the 280.13-1 driver.
After finish the 290.0x driver installation I run the nvidia-xconfig and there is no error but after restart gdm3 there is no internal display.
If I connect an external display the gnome-shell shows up. I run the nvidia-settings and I can see that the driver cannot find the internal display.

Hi there!

I tried the oficial driver from nvidia site and the resul is the same; (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration..
It is a beta version and is normal that something is wrong but I see that there isn't many people whit this problem.

here it is the log http://microcris.no.sapo.pt/coisas/n...rt.log.tar.bz2

I am having the same issue with my GeForce Go 7900 GS.

The pattern is very clear: All of us with the problem have Geforce Go 6/7 cards.

[microcris]

I think the problem may be in the digital port.
The 280.13 driver uses DPF-0 port to connect the internal display
When I install 290.06 driver and force it to see a display connected in DFP-0 the driver says that there is no DFP-0 port available. There is only DFP-1, CRT and TV ports.

Could you all add nvidia bug report for driver which is not working and working?

Here it is

log from an 290.06 installation made by the official nvidia installer -> http://microcris.no.sapo.pt/coisas/n...rt.log.tar.bz2

log from an 290.06 installation made by the debian packages -> http://microcris.no.sapo.pt/coisas/n...ort.log.tar.7z

edit:
the internal attachment is from a working installation of 280.13 driver

Attached are mine, the working 275.28 and the non-working 290.06. I used logverbose 6.

I went through the logs... one funny thing (not funny haha, but funny weird), there's no nvidia in /proc/interrupts with the non-working 290.06 driver. Another curiosity, Video BIOS in /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0/information is ?? with the non-working driver.

Still the same with 290.10 version

[HDave]

I am seeing this still with my Geforce Go 7400 x32 with Ubuntu using the 290.10 driver. Relevant portion of the Xorg.0.log file is:

If I want to use my computer I have to connect a external display
