dmesg without nouveau.noaccel=3D1
Happened to get 2 FX4500's for my PowerMac G5 11,2, but it didn't seem will=
ing
to cooperate.
Without nouveau.noaccel=3D1 in the kernel parameter, the system starts fine=
, but
X would only work with fbdev driver - as GPU locks up at early stages of
startup (dmesg attached above).
With nouveau.noaccel=3D1 in the kernel parameter, system starts fine withou=
t the
lock up message, but X will **still** only work with fbdev - using nouveau =
with
result in a looped output of the following message:
"nouveau 0000:0a:00.0: DRM: 0x13DC: Parsing digital output script tabl=
e"
And the system is inaccessible, this also appears to hang any `systemctl st=
op
lightdm` operation and even the `reboot` command itself.

Xorg-Server version: 1.18.4

I would happily donate one of my FX4500's to one who's willing to investiga=
te
this issue.
