And even the “nv” driver fails to work, with a similar complaint. I had to blacklist nouveau on an ancient (8YO) notebook, because with nouveau X wouldn't work on it. The nouveau X driver failed in some way I can't remember, and nv complained about the hardware being controlled by another driver already. On the happier side, the deblobbed nouveau driver in Linux-libre Freed-ora builds works nicely on another (5YO IIRC) notebook, so it can now change resolutions and control independently its own LCD and the TV it's connected to through a VGA cord. At last! :-) Now if only we managed to reverse engineer (or get sources for) those blobs allegedly released under GPLv2, we'd have another hardware supplier with Free 3D acceleration! -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter http://FSFLA.org/~lxoliva/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Gandhi Be Free! -- http://FSFLA.org/ FSF Latin America board member Free Software Evangelist Red Hat Brazil Compiler Engineer -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
