Description russianneuromancer 2011-09-14 00:01:29 UTC

nForce Go 430 onboard GPU GeForce 6100 Go (C51G) is not supported. After boot with enabled nouveau driver screen is covered by graphical garbage/glithes. GPU work fine with VESA driver (limited functional) and nVidia proprietary driver (full functional).

Tested with Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10, 11.04, 11.10 Beta 2. Only VGA output tested (because there is only VGA output on motherboard).
lspci: VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51G [GeForce 6100] (rev a2)

I suspect the problem in power management support:
Sep 14 04:03:52 ubuntu kernel: [    5.910059] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:05.0: 3 available performance level(s)
Sep 14 04:03:52 ubuntu kernel: [    5.910063] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:05.0: 0: memory 0MHz core 100MHz fanspeed 100%
Sep 14 04:03:52 ubuntu kernel: [    5.910067] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:05.0: 1: memory 800MHz core 350MHz fanspeed 100%
Sep 14 04:03:52 ubuntu kernel: [    5.910070] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:05.0: 2: memory 1000MHz core 425MHz fanspeed 100%
Sep 14 04:03:52 ubuntu kernel: [    5.910081] [drm] nouveau 0000:00:05.0: c: memory 0MHz
Probably driver shouldn't set memory speed to 0 MHz, but maybe I mistake and it's just placeholder for future power management support of this GPU. Anyway kernel log (Ubuntu 11.10 Beta 2), vbios.rom (copied by dd) and mmiotrace (created with nVidia 280.13 proprietary driver) attached.

It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty good that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot. (Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your distro's bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report.

In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ for what we need to see, and re-open this one.

Thanks,

The Nouveau Team

I have MSI VR330 notebook with GeForce 6100 Go.
Debian jessie x86_64, updated to current status.
Bug still here. When I try to launch openbox, all fonts are just mess of pixels.
When I blindly start terminal and start glxgears from it, it start to show rotating trinagles.
