I can't quite tell what you're saying, but a pastebin of dmesg and Xorg log will surely reveal what is going on. xf86-video-nouveau only works with the nouveau kms module, and will refuse to load if the device it's given doesn't support the various nouveau-specific ioctls. -ilia _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
