In general, nouveau should work just fine on all Riva TNT and newer NVIDIA cards (NV04+). Starting with 3.13, we abort loads when the VBIOS contains unknown opcodes (running the VBIOS is needed for posting the card if it's a secondary, and also on resume). By far and away the leading cause of this is reading in the "wrong" VBIOS (which in turn is almost always PCIROM). It seems like a vbios could be found in your PRAMIN although the signature doesn't check out -- this happens sometimes. You can force the PRAMIN vbios by booting with nouveau.config=NvBios=PRAMIN Try that, I bet it'll let nouveau load. -ilia _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
