Control: tag -1 wontfix

I don't think we're allowed to extract and redistribute firmware from
the Nvidia package.

Bug#989441: Missing Nvidia /lib/firmware/nouveau/nv106_fuc084

[Paul van der Vlis]

Package: firmware-nonfree
Version: 20210315-2

I did install a computer with this videocard with Debian 11 RC1:
0b:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208B [GeForce GT 
710] (rev a1)


This firmware file was missing: /lib/firmware/nouveau/nv106_fuc084

Without it, vdpauinfo did tell that all decoder capabilities where not 
supported. With the file, some of them where supported.


from https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/VideoAcceleration.html

$ mkdir /tmp/nouveau
$ cd /tmp/nouveau
$ wget https://raw.github.com/envytools/firmware/master/extract_firmware.py
$ wget 
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/325.15/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-325.15.run

$ sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-325.15.run --extract-only
$ python2 extract_firmware.py  # this script is for python 2 only
# mkdir /lib/firmware/nouveau
# cp -d nv* vuc-* /lib/firmware/nouveau/


With regards,
Paul van der Vlis
