Excellent, I backed the three files modified by the changeset you bisected to and now my Thinkpad T61p runs native Xorg just fine with the expected acceleration. I thought I might have other problems, as drm_pci.c went from the present 1.16 back to 1.15, but apparently so far it works. Thanks for

That probably is the case - I tried live system on a desktop with a Quadro 600 card and it works just fine. It seems something is bothering the nouveau driver in the older cards. Chavdar On Thu, 27 Jul 2017 at 16:45 John D. Baker wrote: > On Wed, 28 Jun 2017 14:34:55

Thanks for the suggestion, but it appears the problem was earlier. I built an up-to-date kernel with the four files downgraded to the versions prior to your change, but the result was the same - the system working fine but with a black screen. Xorg also starts, judging by the processes present,

Hi, I finally found some time to revive one of my old laptops with NetBSD after some service testing other stuff. IT is a ThinkPAD T61p with NVidia graphics. I had a live system image prepared a few months ago which I could use to compile -current from scratch and subsequently sysupdate. This was
