Fortunately I have also Intel GPU (Optimus) so I can use my laptop.

On Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel based on 3.13 everything was OK. I also had Slackware with custom build kernel 3.16 and nouveau doesn't worked.
Comment 1 Ilia Mirkin 2014-11-01 19:41:14 UTC
Hrm, I guess the 0x3d4 vga writes aren't such a big hit on this card since it doesn't have a PDISP at all either.

Would it be possible for you to bisect nouveau to see what change broke nouveau for you?

git bisect start v3.16 v3.13 -- drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau

should only bisect the nouveau commits and not the whole kernel.
Comment 2 lampshade 2014-12-22 14:59:20 UTC
I am not familiar with git so I started to test official kernel sources from kernel.org. 3.14-rc1 have broken nouveau driver for me. Unfortunatel 3.13.0 also contains bug with filesystem or HDD or something similar. I think he have the same bug as me:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1380881
So I can not test a lot of 3.13* kernels :/
As far as I remember Ubuntu with 3.13 *something worked for me (both filesystem and nouveau).

And I have some more info form dmesg from vanilla 3.14.1

Comment 4 Ilia Mirkin 2015-10-22 04:23:14 UTC
Can you include your vbios (/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/vbios.rom)? I suspect that something in the vbios is telling nouveau to write to the VGA registers, which aren't there.
