Any chance you might mmiotrace the blob (version 325 or later) to see which registers it fiddles with? Or alternatively, if you have a NVCE card (you never did end up providing the logs which would have made that apparent), could you try replacing nvc3_mc_oclass with nvc0_mc_oclass for the 0xce case in drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/core/engine/device/nvc0.c? (and boot without the MSI disabling.) The switch has already been made for NVC8 in 0bae1d61c75 -- perhaps there are more "odd" ones. -ilia _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
