Greetings When I put this system together ( a LONG time ago) nvidia was not quite the pariah it has become in the open source community. So I'm stuck with nouveau for drivers (its a long explanation but trust me I'm STUCK there!).
Nouveau is really not as wonderful as it purports to be and I would love nothing better than to move to a Radeon solution except changing the whole system for that is just a little cost prohibitive and then newer gpus are mostly limited to at best 4 outputs and I have 5. Don't really want to buy 2 cards either as that makes things just too bloody expensive. So a new system is on hold until this one shows definite signs of imminent demise or somebody drops a bunch of $$$ into my pocket (fat chance of that!!). So I have filed a bug report over at nouveau's system and they are telling me to do something that I just can't find any information on the web as a how to. Maybe someone here knows this area (kernel/gpu/drm/whatever other software they're dragging in!) and could advise. I'm told to: rebuild the kernel with CONFIG_NOUVEAU_DEBUG_PUSH=y followed by: boot the machine with drm.debug=0x16 log_bug_len=50m nouveau.debug=disp=trace (the second command is maybe covered here: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/kernel-boot-parameter-edit/ but if there is a better/easier way please advise!!) Is there anyone who can help? (I really want to use that 4k monitor - - - I've been looking at it for about 8 months now and when I connect it well - - - I get 2 to 16 hours of uptime and then its time to reboot - - - a royal pita(!!!!) at best) TIA _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
