Description vdanjean@free.fr 2015-07-20 13:18:08 UTC

I'm mainly using Debian compiled kernels.
With 3.19.0-trunk-amd64, 4.0.0-1-amd64 and 4.0.0-2-amd64, I got dmesg output similar what is present in #89047. For example:

As #89047 is claimed fixed in 4.1, I just tried on the new Debian linux-image-4.1.0-trunk-amd64 package.
Now, the error message is different but the nouveau driver still do not load:

[...]

So, it seems a little bit better but not yet working. It means that I must stick with the intel graphic card that cannot use DVI and HDMI outputs (or use the NVidia module)

My laptop is an HP ZBook 15 with the latest available BIOS (L70 Ver. 01.32)

Any ideas?
