From me, it would not be an unconditional "wontfix" here but an "invalid" as

I take it from my crystal ball that the reporter must have been trying nouveau with an G80 generation card or newer, with those, you are expected to get exactly the described result. I'll try to add a patch which checks for G80 or G92 generation cards and gives an error message instead of attempting to start. Thanks for the bug report, it was useful for making it nonetheless despite I had to use my crystall ball... If my crystall ball was wrong, please reopen and provide information which card you have been trying nouveau with. If your card was indeed an G80 or G92 generation card (Geforce 5x/8x/9x), don't report it to freedesktop.org either, likely the Voodoo and/or Ctx for your card is missing, so if you want to help, you can provide the lspci output (that would be enough) for your card and if it's a G84 or G86, there might be Voodoos which might work for you and in theory I you could use that, but would you be fine without any form of RENDER, 3D, and Xv acceleration? Alternativelty, add Option "ShadowFB" "on" to your xorg.conf, but not even that would fix your text consoles after having started nouveau, that is as of now only fixable if you help reverse enigneering nVidia G80 modesetting because the part of Text console restore is still a mystery. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
