nouveau: [drm] failed to open device

[Daniel Mack]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the new nouveau kernel driver (2.6.33-rc8) to work
with X.Org 1.7.4 (Debian/unstable, all relevant packages updated). The
modules load just fine, and the kernel spits out the following upon
probe:

[    8.304602] nouveau 0000:06:00.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LNEB] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
[    8.304779] nouveau 0000:06:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
[    8.313364] [drm] nouveau 0000:06:00.0: Detected an NV40 generation card (0x044300a2)
[    8.313812] [drm] nouveau 0000:06:00.0: Attempting to load BIOS image from PROM

...


However, when starting X.Org (installed from the Debian package), I get
this:

2.4.0, built from the git sources yesterday.

"Bump of the userspace interface to 0.0.16.
libdrm and nouveau drm have to be updated together for nouveau to keep
working. The kernel.org version will not work with the current git
user space for some time. See the kernel commit log for more
information. "

This means kernel.org tree does not work with libdrm git.
(so you can either use older git userspace or a newer nouveau drm module/kernel)

If this is not clear enough, do you have a suggestion for rephrasing
the paragraph on the frontpage ?

I suppose we could also add an entry in either Faq or Troubleshooting.

I am deeply sorry, really. This one line of text right above the the
actual headline was indeed the information I overlooked. I scanned the
FAQ and TroubleShooting sections, but missed this, grr.

Yes, I think adding it there would help. Not only me ;)

http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TroubleShooting

I think it was already covered with this basic question :
<<<
Are you using the latest code?
      Make sure you use the latest available Nouveau code from the git
repositories listed in FrontPage: DDX, DRM and Nouveau kernel. And
this really means GIT, not your just distribution's latest package.
GIT as of TODAY . Kernel.org git repositories do not count, use the
freedesktop.org repositories. As long as Nouveau is in staging in the
Linux kernel, the user space ABI can break. This means that the git
version of libdrm or DDX does not work with the kernel.org version of
Nouveau code, until the changes flow upstream.
>>>

But I added a new section anyway.
