I recently switched from the proprietary driver to the nouveau driver |
| 2 |
and everything appeared to go well except that during boot I see: |
| 3 |
GPU lockup detected switching to software fbcon |
| 4 |
so I did some googling and ended up adding 'nouveau.noaccel=1' to my |
| 5 |
command line which solves the issue. Obviously this isn't ideal as I'd |
| 6 |
like to have accel turned on ;) |

Does anyone have any idea why I'm getting the lockup? |

dmesg (with noaccel option) , kernel config, and lspci output |
| 39 |
attached. In my googling I did see one mention of someone w/ this gpu |
| 40 |
lockup problem and it seemed to be caused by having more than one |
| 41 |
video device. My mobo does have an onboard graphic device, but I've |
| 42 |
disabled it in the BIOS and it does *not* show up in the lspci output, |
| 43 |
fwiw. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
I do find it a bit odd that there is no mention of nvidia/nouveau in |
| 46 |
the 'eselect mesa' output above, but I don't know if that is normal |
| 47 |
since 'eix mesa' shows that it does see my video choice: |
