{Solved!} Cannot install Zen mini with NVidia ION gpu, unsupported device

[MBantz]

Just trying to install Zen on a small 'Giada' PC that has an NVidia ION gpu, the x configuration is telling me that no devices and no screens are found.

More precisely: (WW) NV: Ignoring unsupported device 0x10de087d (ION VGA) at 03@00:00:0

Are the NVidia ION not supported in Linux yet?

This is Zen mini 2010.10

thanks,
MBantz

Have you tried the NVidia 260.19.29 driver? - in the repos

On the NVidia site

http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/linux-display-ia32-260.19.29-driver-uk.html

it has the ION series: ION, ION LE as being supported.

You can try:

1. Use safe video mode to install (vesa)
2. Install the Nvidia 260.19.29 video driver from the repos.
3. Use Configure your Computer -> Hardware -> Configure Video card and manually select Nvidia 6100 and better

Great - when I saw on the NVidia site that the 260.19.29 driver worked on the ION I thought you'd be okay.
