Where exactly should I set this option? I tried pass it as a kernel parameter from grub, which did not work. Then i blacklisted nouveau, and tried to load it after the system booted But this always tells me: laptop ~ # modprobe nouveau nouveau.NvBios='/boot/vbios.rom' [ 86.004292] nouveau: `/boot/vbios.rom' invalid for parameter `nouveau.NvBios' modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nouveau': Invalid argument laptop ~ # modprobe nouveau NvBios='/boot/vbios.rom' [ 92.214318] nouveau: `/boot/vbios.rom' invalid for parameter `NvBios' modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nouveau': Invalid argument This is on kernel 3.10.7 (gentoo sources) and greping trough the source i see that the option exists. Do i need try linux for workgroup (aka 3.11)? Im lost a little bit here.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
