And that's the reason for the missing acceleration, there is still no working free microcode for NVD9. :-( Search for "case 0xd9:" in drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_state.c. It is possible to extract firmware from the blob, but the procedure is rather complicated¹.

I'd also be interested in full "dmesg" output (as an attachment) from booting the 3.5.y kernel and starting X with "drm.debug=0xe" and "log_buf_len=16M" parameters appended to the kernel command line (without noaccel=0).

I was able to recreate the error by reverting back to the Nouveau driver. It still crashes with the 3.2.0-3-amd64 kernel, but it works with the 3.5-trunk-amd64 kernel. Although I'm only able to use the 'fall-back' mode of Gnome 3. This is probably due to the fact that Nouveau doesn't have hardware acceleration yet? I'm more than willing to test out any patches.

Support was added in v3.5-rc1~100^2^2~43 (drm/nve0/gr: initial implementation, 2012-03-13) and surrounding commits. Could you try a 3.5.y kernel from experimental and let us know how it goes? If it doesn't work, then we can work with upstream to fix it. If it does work, then we can try to backport the support for wheezy if you have time to test patches. Either result is a win. Thanks for writing, and hope that helps. Sincerely, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
