Have you checked that Xorg is really using nouveau? (in the Xorg log e.g)
yes, the log clearly shows this.
If nouveau fails to load, Xorg will fall back to a different driver, likely "modesetting" which will still use the nouveau kernel module.
I know, but this isn't the case here.
But that's the only explanation I would have. Just to be sure: Xorg will try to load nouveau in any case (and you will see this in the log), but that doesn't mean that it's actually used.
Well, apparently the nouveau Xorg driver doesn't support your chipset. As you told Xorg to use nouveau, it fails to start because nouveau cannot be loaded.
According to the nouveau page, NV117 is supported.
Ok, but the question is since when. The driver clearly states that it doesn't support it, and I doubt that is related to specifying nouveau in the xorg.conf... Actually it seems they *removed* the support again nearly a year ago (in 1.0.12 and 1.0.13): https://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau/commit/?id=3e2e0faa2... It's been added back in git master a month ago, but there's been no new release yet. https://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau/commit/?id=a24ded627...
Tumbleweed has a newer kernel (and a newer nouveau kernel module), this may be the difference.
As I wrote - I use exactly the same kernel.
Sorry, overlooked that detail. Well, did you upgrade the kernel-firmware too? Kind Regards, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
