All try to use nouveau, and all give > the same "(EE) [drm] failed to open device" message in Xorg.0.log. nouveau was first merged in 2.6.33 as a staging driver. It moved out of staging in kernel 3.4. It's possible that your userspace expects a newer abi than the old nouveau provided. This feels like some sort of tiling fail. Do things work better if you boot with nouveau.noaccel=1 nouveau.nofbaccel=1</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
