Excellent! > The nouveau X driver doesn't load, though. Yeah, xf86-video-nouveau has no support for the GM20x family? Note that even if it did load, you wouldn't get any acceleration -- may as well just use the 'xf86-video-modesetting' driver. > > I tried to use the nvidia firmware: > [...] > > with: > > options nouveau config=NvGrUseFW=1 > > in my modprobe configuration, and that made no obvious difference, > even in the kernel logs. Right, that's expected. GM20x requires signed firmware. We haven't even gotten as far as being able to figure out what all the *proprietary* firmware is, never mind even loading it. It doesn't show up in mmiotraces, probably read by the card directly out of system memory. It's a multi-stage process, complicating RE. The firmware that you've extracted is exclusively for video decoding acceleration. You could extract firmware from 325.15 which will include the pgraph fuc blobs too [which would get loaded by NvGrUseFW=1], but nothing that'll help you.
