Priority: medium
Bug ID: 60772
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: xf86-video-nouveau fails to modprobe nouveau: KMS not
enabled
QA Contact: [email protected]
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
Status: NEW
Version: unspecified
Component: Driver/nouveau
Product: xorg
When nouveau kernel module is build as module and not inserted manually, X
server won't start with message "[drm] KMS not enabled".
Older versions (like xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.16) didn't have that problem.
Reason is in function NVHasKMS, where you FIRST call
drmCheckModesettingSupported and THEN nouveau_device_open, meaning
drmCheckModesettingSupported will fail.
When the calls are switched, nouveau_device_open will call modprobe and insert
the nouveau module, so later drmCheckModesettingSupported works correctly.
