At boot then uvesafb first picked up and then replaced with nouveau screen goes into distorted state. X can be run but nothing apperars on the screen except garbage. Switching between VT's works, but screen is still distorted. Disabling all other framebuffer drivers in kernel config helped to solve this issue. Logs before disabling: dmesg: https://pastebin.com/YC3kX7E3 (esp. lines 150 and 152 to 154) Xorg: https://pastebin.com/JTyYynRd Logs after disabling: dmesg: https://pastebin.com/Dkgk67zA Xorg: https://pastebin.com/VaJpqGxb
Would you be able to trace[1] the proprietary driver initialising on this configuration? Thanks, Ben. [1] https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MmioTrace/
I wont recommend using/keeping the GP106 (GTX 1060). It cant ever run with free software: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/04/15/nvidia_gtx_900_linux_driver_roadbloack/ https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nouveau-XDC2017 https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nouveau-XDC2016-NVIDIA Sell this crappy GP102 card away and go away from nvidia. Nvidia died with the 780ti card. Its the last end-user card that can be used normaly. Everything else is in some countries even a legal problem. Because the manufacturer (nvidia) blocks the users from beeing able to boot the software they want on THEIR hardware - happyly illegal in some countries. Hopefully some layer would sue the heck out of nvidia so that they would have to release the private signing key or close their doors. Blocking the freedom of the users on such way should not be accepted by anyone.
