Bug 104784

Hello,

> AC: core 0 MHz memory 0 MHz

means your GPU is actually suspended: since you have an Optimus configuration, the NVIDIA GPU will suspend automatically if it hasn’t received any work to do in a short while. Try for example to run `DRI_PRIME=1 glxgears`, keep it running and reissue the cat command: you should not see actual clocks for on the AC line.
Have a look at https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Optimus/ to learn how to configure Prime.

As for the system hang when trying to reclock a suspended GPU, patches have been sent to the Nouveau mailing list, but haven’t been merged yet. You can find them here: https://github.com/karolherbst/nouveau/commits/clk_cleanup_for_real

> And when i launch a game (Tyranny), it does not work.

What is not working? If you didn’t specify anything, the game should run on the “primary” GPU by default, which quite often tends to be the Intel GPU.

I added to my ~/.xinitrc this line « xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink nouveau Intel »
I see correctly the Intel GPU when i launch « glxinfo | grep « OpenGL vendor string » » and the Nvidia GPU if i add DRI_PRIME=1.

In fact the games runs with Nouveau and DRI_PRIME=1.
It does not work after to do the reclocking => the game’s process exist but the game’s window does not appear.

Are you French, if yes it’s easiest to explain :
Lorsque je lance la commande pour faire le reclocking, je n’ai plus accès au prompt, comme si la commande continue de travailler en arrière plan. Si je verifie l’état de pstate dans une autre commande, le reclocking a l’air d’avoir été  fait.
