I need to see your dmesg output (or /var/log/messages) from nouveau trying to start *without* "nomodeset" (so, you'll get a blank screen because nouveau can't read your edid) in order to better diagnose the problem. "failed to open device" is probably because you were trying to use nouveau without kernel modesetting enabled. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
