Howdy, y'all
I just got a GTX460 and I'm having a bit of trouble getting it running.
In particular, when I modprobe "nouveau," the display goes black (but
doesn't enter power saving, so there's a signal of some sort). After
doing some searching, I found
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/KernelModeSetting
If I unbind the nouveaufb driver, the console starts working again. If I
re-bind it, it freezes. Other than the display not showing anything, the
system seems to run properly. So clearly, this seems like a handover
problem.
Any suggestions for things I should try? I am using plain VGA right now,
which should work according to the page.
I currently have fbcon and nouveau modularized, but I'm going to try
compiling them in just to see if that helps. Since this is my main
machine, I'd like to get X working first and foremost, and then I can
tweak things afterward.
Oops; forgot the kernel message; they are here:
http://codepad.org/tKIxN5H2
The last message is from when I unbinded nouveaufb. You can see that my
default console is the VGA one.
As a small update, compiling in fbcon doesn't help anything. I haven't
managed to compile in nouveau yet; there's something in the dependency
chain somewhere that's modularized, and I haven't tracked it down yet.
