Here is a snippet from Arch's Wiki [2] "... Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) is a method for setting display resolution and depth in the kernel space rather than user space. ... even kernel space power-saving. ..." Not to mention that there were(are) a few cases where the handover (vga->nouveau) was causing issues. With that said I believe that udev(or similar in your case/distro) should kick in and load nouveau before X Personally I do not feel to strong either way, thus it may boil down to convincing the maintainer that "nouveau kernel module should not be loaded before X" :) . In which case this patch will be committed [1] <a href="http://xkcd.com/1172/">http://xkcd.com/1172/</a> [2] <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Mode_Setting">https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Mode_Setting</a></pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
