Actually, what I will try next is emerging "x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau" Version-1.0.15-r1. It that works for Nvidia, I guess it will also work for Nouveau. ;) I would have preferred to have it all in the Kernel but that does not seem possible. Best Zeno

So far I spent a lot of time and I did not manage to get it to work. And I need my graphical Linux Desktop. I am a Nouveau user since day one. This may also be a Gentoo/Funtoo Issue. I will keep you posted, if I have any success. Best Zeno

For the time being I got it working by removing all nouveau selections in "make menuconfig" and by emerging "x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers" Version 440.82. Back on the latest Linux Kernel. Feels great ;). Linux zenogentoo 5.7.0 #84 SMP Thu Jun 4 17:47:15 CEST 2020 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 960 @ 3.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux Best Zeno

Also this would only be necessary if nouveau is built into the kernel. The files just have to be available whenever nouveau is loaded -- if it's built in, that means the firmware has to be baked into the kernel too. If it's loaded from initrd, that means the firmware has to be in initrd. If it's loaded after boot, then the firmware has to be available after boot. Cheers, -ilia

How can I tell the kernel to load the firmware? Best Zeno
Re: [Nouveau] NVIDIA GP107 (137000a1) - acr: failed to load firmware
Starting with kernel 5.6, loading nouveau without firmware (for GPUs where it is required, such as yours) got broken. You are loading nouveau without firmware, so it fails. The firmware needs to be available to the kernel at the time of nouveau loading.
