Can you see if using blob grctx firmware helps? Follow the instructions at <a href="https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/VideoAcceleration/#firmware">https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/VideoAcceleration/#firmware</a> [make sure you use 325.15 and not another version] This should get you the appropriate grctx firmware. You can then make use of it by booting with nouveau.config=NvGrUseFW=1 (Make sure that the firmware ends up whereever the nouveau module is... if it's loaded from initrd, then it should be in initrd, etc.)</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
