Two things, it's an NVA3, not NV40. Secondly i notice the word "Optimus" in your log, which to the best of knowledge means that you have a mixed intel/nvidia system and the nvidia gpu doesn't have any outputs/monitors attached, only the intel. As far as i know optimus is not (well) supported under linux, but others might know more about that. In the meantime, the intel driver in principle should work (although the nvidia gpu may still be consuming energy and doing nothing) if this is really an optimus system. That optimus message is a mistake that is fixed in newer kernels: commit f24f9104f70cabc2534b16f94149d33127d249d5 Author: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> Date: Wed May 2 20:26:24 2012 +0100 nouveau: initialise has_optimus variable. commit addde4ec31456c5f1e9b61aae3edcfeb0f338f87 upstream. We should initialise this to 0 really to avoid getting false positives. Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Ok I didn't know it was NVA3. And as the last comment says it's a mistake message, since I run a desktop with an off board PCI-E card. Is it possible that a newer kernel don't think I have an intel? Or there might be another issue not related to this? Thanks. Created attachment 61823 [details]
kernel 3.4-rc6 dmesg log
I have some news, I belive the commit shown here actually disabled this optimus feature that is not really available here, so using a kernel 3.4-rc6 shows kubuntu logo at 1920.1080 and allows me to use the console, however the X still doesn't start. Since I got a kernel patch upstream I did the test to see if it was working fine and ended up noticing nouveau starting to work here... I'm adding a new dmesg log |

Created attachment 61743 [details] dmesg run from ssh Hi, my card is unfortunately useless with nouveau when I bootup a "corrupted" screen shows up and stay there, after everything is loaded and X is supposed to start it doesn't start so either X and console doesn't work with it. I'm using xorg-edgers drivers from ubuntu PPA, that use to be quite new, just in case a fedora live cd also doesn't boot. Please ask if so can provide more info Thanks.
