https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31892 Summary: Problems with nouveau on my HP laptop Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 2.6.38-Linus-07088-gb973a3b Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) AssignedTo: drivers_video-dri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No First of all, this is not a complaint. Using 2.6.38-gitX, my laptop works correctly using the nouveau driver, at least for X. I previously tried it with the 2.6.37 kernel in openSUSE 11.4. At that point, nothing worked. I congratulate you on your improvements. My hardware is given by "sudo lspci -vvv" as 00:12.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C67 [GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 30d6 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 22 Region 0: Memory at f4000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Region 1: Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Region 3: Memory at f0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] [virtual] Expansion ROM at c0000000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-) Status: D0 NoSoftRst- PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Address: 0000000000000000 Data: 0000 Kernel driver in use: nouveau The probllems are as follows: (1) My logs are spammed with lots of [drm] nouveau 0000:00:12.0: Load detected on output B There are also the occasional [drm] nouveau 0000:00:12.0: Setting dpms mode 0 on lvds encoder (output 0) [drm] nouveau 0000:00:12.0: Calling LVDS script 2: [drm] nouveau 0000:00:12.0: 0xD6D8: Parsing digital output script table [drm] nouveau 0000:00:12.0: Calling LVDS script 5: [drm] nouveau 0000:00:12.0: 0xD676: Parsing digital output script table [drm] nouveau 0000:00:12.0: Setting dpms mode 0 on TV encoder (output 2) (2) The fonts in terminals are not really sharp. The screen resolution is set to 1024x768, not the 1280x800 that is native for the screen. The xrandr command shows Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096 LVDS-1 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 303mm x 190mm 1280x800 60.0 + 1024x768 59.9* 800x600 59.9 640x480 59.4 720x400 59.6 640x400 60.0 640x350 59.8 The inability to switch to the higher resolution is probably my fault. The worst problem is that the boot sequence and virtual terminals 1-6 all have the text covering only the right-hand 2/3 of the screen, and the characters are not dense as they are with the framebuffer driver I get with the "nomodeset" option on the GRUB boot line. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
