Ilia Mirkin <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #10 from Ilia Mirkin <[email protected]> --- The usual mechanism, nowadays, for modules to load is that the kernel creates some stuff in /sys, udev is notified about it, looks at the module_alias which describe what it is that the modules claim they support, and loads the right ones. In this case the nouveau module should (and does) claim to support some set of pci devices. (I might have that a little wrong, but that's the overall gist.) If you're not using udev/have disabled that somehow, I don't think it's too much to ask you to load the module yourself. In any case, I don't think having this in the bugtracker will lead to the resolution that you're seeking. If you really want to change the behaviour, send a patch, ping people, etc. It sounds like the various people are in favor of the current behaviour (I know I am -- I hate it when things do stuff behind my back). For anyone looking at this later, see discussion that followed http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/nouveau/2013-February/012222.html . If you want to boot s.t. you can load the nvidia driver, you can either boot with nouveau.modeset=0, or take a look at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/KernelModeSetting/ for how to unload a "mode-setted" module. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
