How is this > line of troubleshooting effort in any way trollish? ..another troll? We asked him to try nouveau to help him diagnose _his_ problem. If it works, fine. If it doesn't, fine, we will then know it doesn't work for him. Instead, he refuses to try it, after having wasted _our_ time on _his_ alleged problem on what looks like endlifed closed source. ..so I ask him to reconsider his refusal and try a boot with nouveau, once, and tell us what happens with that driver, or, a simple "No." ..we have enough trolls here, they waste our time with BS nonsense to "prove" e.g. nouveau "doesn't work." -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
