In fact, Linux kernel 4.14.0-041400rc7 caused Xorg to crash : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- nouveau/+bug/1732574
With Linux kernel 4.16.0-041600rc5 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline and kernel option 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2009"', XORG seems to work correctly : $ xrandr --listproviders Providers: number : 2 Provider 0: id: 0x66 cap: 0x9, Source Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 4 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting Provider 1: id: 0x3f cap: 0x4, Source Offload crtcs: 0 outputs: 0 associated providers: 1 name:nouveau Therefore, this issue seems to be solved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1682233 Title: 10de:1c8c [MSI] Module nouveau seems to MISS GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have a laptop computer with hybrid graphics : 'Intel Onboard IGD' and 'Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile'. The 'Intel Onboard IGD' correctly manages the onboard monitor with resolution 1920 x 1080. But I need the Nvidia card to manage an external monitor with resolution 4K2K connected to DisplayPort. At the beginning, the 'nouveau' module of the Linux kernel seems to be correctly loaded : $ lsmod | grep '^nouveau' nouveau 1601536 0 But XORG does NOT load its 'nouveau' module. So, I force it with following file : $ cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-module-nouveau.conf Section "Module" Load "nouveau" EndSection In the attached 'Xorg-with-nouveau.0.log' file, you can see : - Lines 58-59 : XORG correctly finds both Intel and Nvidia graphics hardware. - Lines 61-66 : XORG loads its 'nouveau' module. - Lines 94-108 : The list of the Nvidia chipsets known by the 'nouveau' module does NOT contain 'GTX 1050'. Is this meaningful ? - Line 123 : Message ending with 'cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support'. Is this meaningful ? If yes, is it possible to activate the 'kernel arbiter' ? - Lines 124-226 : The 'modesetting' module of XORG (perhaps with the help of the 'glamoregl' submodule) correctly reports the 4 available graphics outputs, in particular 'eDP-1' connected to the onboard monitor. - Lines 233-234 : XORG unloads its 'nouveau' module, which has NOT reported any graphics hardware or outputs If necessary, I am able to test : - the latest version of the 'xserver-xorg-video-nouveau' package from a PPA - the latest upstream kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline Finally, I wonder where this issue has to be solved : - inside configuration files in '/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d', - inside the 'xserver-xorg-video-nouveau' package, - inside the 'nouveau' module of the Linux kernel, - inside the 'kernel arbiter'.
