--- Comment #3 from Ilia Mirkin <imirkin at alum.mit.edu> ---
You used the nouveau/master kernel, right? What's in dmesg? Does it say that it
can't find the VBIOS perchance? If so, you may need to try the drm-next tree --
it has a fix that's not in nouveau/master (but should have almost all the
commits in nouveau/master by now).

Also note that the card is marked as a 3d controller. That means it probably
has no outputs (but not necessarily) and that it can really only be useful for
3d accel. That part is not in nouveau/master, if you want you can look at
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~darktama/nouveau/ for some _very_ prelim support
-- this allows you to build an "out of tree" kernel module. You'll still need
to extract graph firmware from the blob mmiotraces, but I wouldn't really
expect 3d accel to actually work properly quite yet.

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve by filing this bug. The GK208 is
essentially unsupported hardware ATM -- there's some very prelim support atm,
and it's being worked on. If you'd like to contribute, it's probably best to
join #nouveau on irc.freenode.net.
