That is the point of the PR and it has attracted the attention of the developer who made the changes that cause the problem. Perhaps he can sort it out. > Apologies to coypu for dismissing the MSI interrupt problem. I'm not so sure about that. I just posted to the PR the 'dmesg' excerpt for an NVidia GeForce 9600 GT which works with MSI and it also reports nouveau0: interrupting at msi0 vec 0 (nouveau) so perhaps that is a red herring. As your Thinkpad has a different NVidia chip from any of those discussed so far, could you contribute information about it? I took the liberty of pasting your 'dmesg' output from the MSI (blank screen) case into the PR. Now that you have the card working with the rolled-back files (i.e., the "INTx" case), could you send me the output of 'dmesg' (or "/var/run/dmesg.boot") for comparison? Also of interest is the output of: pcictl pci0 dump -b 1 -d 0 in both the working (INTx) case and non-working (MSI) case. -- |/"\ John D.
