Re: [Nouveau] Problems getting nouveau to work with either Geforce GT710 or Geforce 9800GT on ARM Cortex-A9

Hi Rob, Ilia, Thanks for your information. I'll try to have a look into the nouveau code... maybe I can find why the dma fence doesn't complete. In the amdgpu and radeon drivers I am being able to get further with the ARM platform, may be I can compare how they're handling the dma transfers,

Hi Arnd, Sorry for sending this email directly to you, but maybe you can help me, or guide me where to look for. I am having big trouble getting the nouveau driver to work with either Geforce GT 710 or Geforce 9800 GT on an ARM armv7l Cortex-A9 with PCIe x1/x4 with linux kernel 4.15-rc. The
