dmesg using vanilla 5.2.14 and acpi=3Doff on openSUSE Tumbleweed
Original summary:
nouveau won't load (not available) on Sony laptop with NVIDIA G86M [GeForce
8400M GT] ID: 10de:0426=20
This is mostly copied from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D204851
This errant behavior is similarly exhibited by openSUSE Tumbleweed, 15.0, 1=
3.1
and 12.2; Linuxmint 19.0 live installation media; Knoppix 8.2 and 8.6 live
media; antiX 17.4. Using vanilla kernel 5.2.14 on Tumbleweed doesn't help.
Actual behavior:
1-nouveau kernel module doesn't load
2-ttys limited to 1024x768 mode
3-X runs only with VESA or FBDEV drivers and limited to 1024x768 mode
4-/dev/dri/card0 is absent
5-hwinfo reports HDTV display supports maximum VESA 1024x768 mode
6-GeForce 8400M gfx reported by lspci is not found by Xorg
7-[drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci:0000:01:00.0: -19
8-hwinfo improperly detects display
9-laptop locks up (requires poweroff reset) unless cmdline includes acpi=3D=
off
10-/sys/kernel/debug/dri/ is empty
Expected behavior:
1-ttys use display's native 1920x1080 mode
2-X uses modesetting DDX or nouveau DDX and native 1920x1080 mode
