Hi!
I have a rather decent notebook (Toshiba Satellite P105-S9722) with Nvidia
GeForce Go 7900 GS video card. I installed latest debian system with kernel
3.13-1-amd64 on it, but unfortunately nouveau driver doesn't work. When I
load nouveau module following messages will appear in syslog:

So Is there any way to fix this issue or is my notebook really too old for
nouveau?
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.
Hi Ilia,
Yes, that helps, thank you very much!
