Subject: nouveaufb handover not working properly from VGA on GTX460 (NVc0)

Message-ID: <4F4826BF.5040500@xsdg.org> (raw)

Howdy, y'all

I just got a GTX460 and I'm having a bit of trouble getting it running. 
  In particular, when I modprobe "nouveau," the display goes black (but 
doesn't enter power saving, so there's a signal of some sort).  After 
doing some searching, I found
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/KernelModeSetting

If I unbind the nouveaufb driver, the console starts working again.  If 
I re-bind it, it freezes.  Other than the display not showing anything, 
the system seems to run properly.  So clearly, this seems like a 
handover problem.

Any suggestions for things I should try?  I am using plain VGA right 
now, which should work according to the page.

I currently have fbcon and nouveau modularized, but I'm going to try 
compiling them in just to see if that helps.  Since this is my main 
machine, I'd like to get X working first and foremost, and then I can 
tweak things afterward.
