dmesg excerpt
[ 7.189551] [drm] nouveau 0000:03:00.0: No ctxprog for NVac you need to install the firmware http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TroubleShooting Created attachment 34004 [details]
drm dmesg excerpt
Installing the firmware changes dmesg output slightly but the X server fails in the same way producing the same log.
Update to lastest git, there is no need to install firmware (nouveau tree or kernel 2.6.34-rc1+). With 2.6.34-rc1 the X server starts. The kernel also says in the log that it has version 0.0.16 of the nouveau drm module. Is it possible that when the kernel drm version does not match the driver version it just quietly exits instead of reporting a meaningful error? Closing this since the issue is fixed. And no nouveau doesn't silently fails, it always prints "(EE) [drm] failed to open device". That's not exactly helpful output as that same message is output on various occasions and does not point at the actual issue at hand. |

Created attachment 33996 [details] X log X does not start. I am running linux 2.6.33, libdrm 2.4.18 nouveau git X 1.7.5 Mesa 7.7 It opens the drm device and then says it failed to open it. I suspect I have kernel module 0.0.15 and libdrm module 0.0.16 but it is not mentioned anywhere in the log that the versions do not match.
