Ilia Mirkin <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary|Unknown chipset error for |[NV118] GM108 not supported |GeForce 840M |by nouveau --- Comment #1 from Ilia Mirkin <[email protected]> --- There is presently no support in nouveau for this particular chip. However it _ought_ to be pretty similar to the GM107, so you can just add a case 0x118: right above the "case 0x117:" in drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/core/engine/device/gm100.c (approximate path, going by memory). In hypothetical scenario where that works fine, you still wouldn't be able to use this for acceleration [but you would be able to use any displays direct-attached to the controller, if any]. For acceleration, you can either grab blob fw (see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/NVC0_Firmware/), or you may want to build the (out-of-tree style) module available at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~darktama/nouveau which just 2 days ago gained support for GM107 acceleration without any blob fw. All of these will require the extra "case" statement of course. If you end up going through with any parts of this advice, let us know how it works out. We'd love to add support for this chip, but no one on the nouveau team presently has access to it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
