I repeat: there is NO mode switch in my workflow before starting X, therefore no need for KMS. Power saving is also not needed, as I'm starting the X in five minutes, usually faster. Also, remembered another advantage of this setup. I could decide to start the proprietary nvidia driver instead of nouveau. (If it's still possible to compile it against current kernel, I must admit I didn't checked lately.) I don't have nouveau blacklisted, that's easy enough to check :-). In fact, I don't have it mentioned in module configuration at all, meaning kernel shows great amount of intelligence by finding it. I think following lines from /var/log/hotplug relates: Mon Feb 18 09:59:22 CET 2013: module add /module/cfbfillrect Mon Feb 18 09:59:22 CET 2013: module add /module/cfbimgblt Mon Feb 18 09:59:22 CET 2013: module add /module/video Mon Feb 18 09:59:22 CET 2013: drivers add /bus/acpi/drivers/video Mon Feb 18 09:59:22 CET 2013: module add /module/wmi Mon Feb 18 09:59:22 CET 2013: drivers add /bus/acpi/drivers/wmi Mon Feb 18 09:59:22 CET 2013: class add /class/wmi Mon Feb 18 09:59:22 CET 2013: module add /module/mxm_wmi Mon Feb 18 09:59:22 CET 2013: module add /module/cfbcopyarea Mon Feb 18 09:59:22 CET 2013: module add /module/drm_kms_helper Mon Feb 18 09:59:22 CET 2013: module add /module/ttm Mon Feb 18 09:59:22 CET 2013: drm add /devices/virtual/drm/ttm Mon Feb 18 09:59:23 CET 2013: module add /module/nouveau Also, apparently I'm using <a href="http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net">http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net</a> ... not sure about udev. I have it installed, but no daemon is running. Still, before you changed the xf86-video-nouveau, I had no problems.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
