Hello. I have an eVGA GT440 PCI-e card, and nouveau does not work. The card in question has 1024MB of DDR3 memory. Attached is the dmesg log. Arch Linux uname -a output: Linux beast 3.1.0-mainline #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 24 12:18:09 UTC 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 960 @ 3.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux I tried passing noaccel=0 on the kernel args, but Gnome 3.2 still boots up in fallback mode saying my driver is llvmpipe Gallium 0.4. Please help, really wanna know how I can make this work! Thanks, Bruno Antunes

What do you mean by "does not work"? There does not seem to be anything obviously abnormal in dmesg. If you're referring to GNOME Shell not working in normal mode, then the Xorg.0.log file would be useful.
By "does not work" I mean I have no 3D accel :) I'll attach the X log, but the relevant part of it appears to be: [ 15.599] (EE) NOUVEAU(0): Error creating GPU channel: -19 [ 15.599] (EE) NOUVEAU(0): Error initialising acceleration. Falling back to NoAccel [ 15.602] (==) NOUVEAU(0): Backing store disabled [ 15.602] (==) NOUVEAU(0): Silken mouse enabled [ 15.602] (==) NOUVEAU(0): DPMS enabled [ 15.602] (II) NOUVEAU(0): RandR 1.2 enabled, ignore the following RandR disabled message. [ 15.603] (--) RandR disabled

Isn't it "nouveau.noaccel=0" instead of "noaccel=0"?
will that make the '-19' error go away?
Thanks for the help, Marcin! I was just adding "noaccel=0" without "nouveau."! This whole process is really not straight-forward. The reporting should be simpler and the docs are hard to grasp. Enjoying default Gnome Shell now, thanks to you man! :D Thanks a bunch

If you'd tried this without the updates as of yesterday, you would not be enjoying how gnome shell looked, which is the entire reason it was disabled by default. It wasn't *mean't* to be used. > > Enjoying default Gnome Shell now, thanks to you man! :D > > Thanks a bunch Glad it's working for you though, thanks for letting us know.
I'm using the 3.1 kernel from last Wednesday... it only works with "nouveau.noaccel=0"
