I ran out of ideas to try. You can look through some of my suggested patches and try some of them out, perhaps you'll get better results. As I recall, Andrey had some success using xf86-video-nv and/or nvidiafb. If you have the necessary skills, it shouldn't be *too* difficult to add a *ton* of prints in dispnv04/* and nvidiafb and compare where they start making different decisions about stuff. Note that dispnv04/* should map pretty closely to xf86-video-nv -- that driver was originally imported as nouveau into the kernel and then modified... dispnv04 is the bits of it that were modified the least. [The details of the history are a bit off there, but close enough... xf86-video-nv was first forked as xf86-video-nouveau and *then* imported into the kernel...]</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
