Created attachment 48632 [details] nouveau-related portion of /var/log/dmesg When my new computer boots, the nouveau driver pauses saying "unsupported chipset, please report!" Graphics card is Asus ENGT430 (GeForce GT430). OS is Mageia 1, running kernel-server-2.6.38.7-1.mga-1-1.mga1.x86_64.rpm as nearly as I can determine. In case it matters, the motherboard is an Asus P6T6 WS Revolution, processor is a Xeon W3680, and RAM is 12GB ECC DDR3. I'll try to attach the relevant portion from /var/log/dmesg.
Thank you! Are you able to give the kernel from nouveau git a try by any chance?
I'm willing to give it a try. Lest I go down a wrong path trying to Google where to get the nouveau git kernel, is there a recommended wiki or howto page? What is the level of risk from this message? Is it simply that the specific model of chipset has not been marked on a checklist? Or, is there significant risk that this card and driver combo would be unstable? (So far, it has worked admirably for OS customization, but I haven't been doing much full-motion video--yet.) I guess what I'm trying to ask is whether I should proceed to put this machine into production as is vs. go out and buy a different graphics card. Thanks,
The message is harmless, and you card should operate correctly as far as getting an image on the monitor. It does, however, mean there's no support for any kind of acceleration. The kernel in nouveau git (http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallDRM) has support for your chipset. However, your exact chipset may be broken still with nouveau in some way. Acceleration is currently blacklisted by default even with the git kernel. I say "may", as the only hardware I have with that chipset in it is in a pre-production laptop so I can't be certain it's the driver's fault.
hi I've seen the same message at boot my laptop, my features are: Debian GNU/Linux wheezy/sid \n \l kernel 3.0.0-1-amd64 on a box Dell L502X with graphic card NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 525M 1GB con tecnología Optimus In my dmesg says: [ 9.598744] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PGRAPH: unsupported chipset, please report! If you need any more info, please ask me.
Hi networker As you have quite a recent card, there are a couple of things you can try 1. Can you try nouveau/kernel 2. Try linus 3.1 Note that you have a Optimus system thus read here[1] for more information In either case can you please attach the full dmesg log. That will provide us a bit more information about your card Thanks [1] http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Optimus

Also, I'm so new in linux at this level at least, so, can you explain me in detail what do you mean with nouveau/kernel and linus(linux?) 3.1 ? thanks again for the reply.
Hi networker By nouveau/kernel and linus 3.1 I meant the actual tree your kernel is based on e.g. * nouveau/kernel - the main development repo [1] * linus 3.1 - the latest (unreleased) linux kernel[2]. It includes only some of the new features that can be found in [1] AFAIK the nvc1(your card) support is introduced in the linux 3.1 (rather than 3.0) thus you see the message in your log. Currently it's known to have some issues (acceleration related), nevertheless feel free to give it a try. If you wish to test the acceleration (mesa/gallium as well), make sure that you're using [1] or [2], and append "nouveau.noaccel=0" to your kernel command line For more information about testing[3] and/or bugs[4] please visit our wiki Cheers Emil [1] http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6/ [2] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git [3] http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallNouveau [4] http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs
Hi Emil Many thanks for your reply, I'll be testing your tips and as soon as possible I get results I'll try to reply this thread. thanks
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
