Subject: nouveaufb handover not working properly from VGA on GTX460 (NVc0)
Date: Sat, 25 Feb 2012 00:09:35 +0000 [thread overview]
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.
