Created attachment 101974 [details] 3.15.2 dmesg log I've an AMD M4N78 PRO (Bios 1303) motherboard [1] here having a MCP78S chipset (GeForce 8300 onboard, PCI-ID 10de:0848) where I get all black consoles with KMS. Please note that X11 works fine. Fortunately no lockups when switching VTs either. I think there is probably a problem with KMS hand-over. Reproducible at least with: * vanilla 64-bit kernel 3.15.2 and 3.14.8 * openSUSE 13.1/x86_64 (3.11.10 kernel) * grml64-2014.03 live CD with 3.13.6 kernel [2] Yes, I've read: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/KernelModeSetting/ The consoles disappear (black only) once Nouveau switches to its framebuffer. If KMS is disabled, the consoles stay visible, i.e. vesa-fb works. Console switching still works, i.e. switching to/from VT7 where X11 runs fine is possible. When switching, the display goes black but switching back to VT7 restores the X11 display. When using fbcon=map:1 kernel parameter, behavior changes just slightly when console switching: The X11 screen stays (no switch to black screen) but seems to freeze. Switching back to VT7 enables X11 again. Btw, the Linux Penguins shown for each CPU core are displayed but are distorted and in false colors. They disappear after about 10 seconds when the VT screens goes all black.

You have a number of options being passed to the kernel: console=tty0 console=fb0 console=ttyS0,38400n8 video=card0-VGA-1:1024x768@60 Would you mind trying it without those? esp the video= option.
No changes if I omit the console=fb0 and/or video= option. Using a different resolution for video= sets the X11 screen accordingly, though. I also recall that I've added those two in an effort to get a working console. But that obviously did not help.
I believe I am having the same issue, except it is entirely black after KMS is activated on boot. Even in X11. I use Debian Testing on a Dell XPS m1730 with SLI Geforce 8700m. lspci -v |grep 84 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G84M [GeForce 8700M GT] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
(In reply to comment #4) > I believe I am having the same issue, except In other words... not the same issue. File a fresh bug with the relevant info. If it's deemed the same, we can mark it as a dup.
Update: I got my consoles back! :-) Fix: Increased the ivdeo RAM set in the BIOS for the video card from 32MB to 64MB. I've also modified the title accordingly. Before: nouveau [ DRM] VRAM: 32 MiB Now: nouveau [ DRM] VRAM: 64 MiB Before closing this bug, could you at least add a warning if someone sets the video memory below 64MB?

There shouldn't be any issue with using 32MB of vram. However I do think that the scanout buffer has to be in VRAM... which should be *more* than sufficient for 1024x768. Sounds like we're doing something very wrong somewhere...
Same issue: when KMS is just switched I can see two kerenel logos in the top (the are not properly draw though) and after that - black console. I have same amount of VRAM allocated in BIOS setup (32M). 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C77 [GeForce 8200] (rev a2) Linux hades 3.14.22-hardened-r1-grsec #2 SMP Fri Oct 31 10:48:31 EET 2014 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 270u Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
BTW this is regression since kernel 3.2.* I've used before.
This bug is still present in 4.14 kernel at least on MCP79 (ION). Bisected it to: 4f6029da58ba9204c98e33f4f3737fe085c87a6f is the first bad commit commit 4f6029da58ba9204c98e33f4f3737fe085c87a6f Author: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@redhat.com> Date: Fri Nov 16 11:54:31 2012 +1000 drm/nv50-nvc0: switch to common disp impl, removing previous version Signed-off-by: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@redhat.com> But it's a huge patch :(
Created attachment 136458 [details] [review] use "low res" lut for c8 This patch seems to help. There is a problem in that the first modeset does appear to miss that initialization entirely, but later ones seem to work after the screen is initially turned off (by the modeset).
Ben's latest tree ought to fix it completely: https://github.com/skeggsb/nouveau/commits/master Looks like fbcon started using the atomic ioctls when available, which for nouveau is since the conversion in 4.10, but we had not switched to using the atomic gamma property. That's why my patch was insufficient.
