I was able to fix it with some help from users on IRC as well as the files presented here. Figured I'd provide explicit instructions for others. (I'm using Ubuntu 13.10). 1. First make sure you have NV6 firmware $dmesg | grep nouveau | grep Chipset You should see something that looks like: [ 2.318701] nouveau [ DEVICE][0000:01:00.0] Chipset: GK106 (NVE6) 2. Download and move the files from Jordan Bass (thanks!) in <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=72180#c19">comment 19</a> sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/nouveau sudo /path/to/extractedfiles/* /lib/firmware/nouveau 3. Update initramfs sudo update-initramfs -c -k <YOUR_KERNEL> 4. Update GRUB sudo nano /etc/default/grub Add nouveau.config=NvGrUseFW=1 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT so that it looks like: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nouveau.config=NvGrUseFW=1" 5. Update grub sudo update-grub 6. Restart and verify sudo shutdown -r now On restart: $dmesg | grep external [ 2.484773] nouveau [ PGRAPH][0000:01:00.0] using external firmware If you see PGRAPH using external firmware, you're done.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
