Greetings,

Installed Debian 7.1.0 , amd64,  seemed to go without any problems, but 
after the boot it only shows a watch symbol, this can be moved by the 
mouse but  the keyboard and mouse clicks do nothing. Ctrl-Alt-F1 does 
nothing.

Powered done and used rescue OS to look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log . No 
relevant errors or warnings. Did see a number of

     [mi] EQ overflow

messages. Have Nvidia video chipset on Asus PRO50G notebook.

Had the same problem on Debian 6 install, no difference according to my 
notes.
What fixed that was to modify /etc/default/grub file by changing line

              GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
to
             GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nouveau.noaccel=1"

then run the relevant grub command to put changes to this file into effect.

Would this fix apply to Debian 7 as well ?

Strange that the bug hasn't been fixed. Linus T. has a point regarding 
Nvidia ...
Good thing Debian 7 was installed to an external hard disk first, so the 
production Debian 6 is unaffected, thought there might be problems with 
the graphics.

Thanks for any information.
