Bug#943844: nouveau: cannot create GPU channel in Buster (worked in Stretch) - GeForce 6150
I reported this bug a long time ago. I had been hoping that by now some update to Debian would contain a fixed Nouveau that would work as expected with this old hardware. I'm still hoping ... I have also been playing around with this myself -- I don't know enough about video hardware (or anything about the Nouveau driver) to try to meddle with the source, but I've changed configuration options in a number of ways to see what would happen. The first thing I should say is that I think the error lines in Xorg.0.log are misleading. I had tried to disable acceleration in Nouveau because it had caused problems in Stretch and earlier. The error message lines: [45.875] (EE) NOUVEAU(0): Error creating GPU channel: -19 [45.875] (EE) NOUVEAU(0): Error initialising acceleration. Falling back to NoAccel [45.875] (**) NOUVEAU(0): [COPY] acceleration disabled seemed to me to be showing that the system was trying to use acceleration. I have tried disabling acceleration by providing a kernel parameter (either "noaccel" or "nouveau-noaccel=1") which I think worked in Stretch, but this does NOT seem to disable acceleration in Buster, which why I was getting the errors above. Those errors appear to have masked the actual error, making it harder to diagnose the problem. If I create a fairly minimal xorg.cong file containing just: Section "Device" Identifier "GeForce_6150" Driver "nouveau" VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" Option "NoAccel" Option "AccelMethod" "None" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Default monitor" VendorName "DELL" ModelName "U2410" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "GeForce_6150" Monitor "Default monitor" EndSection then acceleration DOES seem to be disabled and I no longer get the errors in Xorg.0.log. In this state Buster boots to the login/greeting screen in the monitor's default resolution of 1920x1200 and I can enter a username and password. These are validated correctly and the screen blanks for a few moments and returns to the login/greeter. If I open a commandline console with ALT+F1 I can log in. If I then try to start an X session with startx I get the following. (Sorry, this is retyped by hand on another machine and may not be 100% correct (and lines may have wrapped). Many of the original lines were terminated with LF but not CR at the end and so the following lines appeared indented. X.Org X Server 1.20.4 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 4.19.0-12-amd64 x86_64 Debian Current Operating System: Linux welly-buster 4.19.0-16-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.191-1 (2021-03-19) x86_64 Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.19.0-16-amd64 root=UUID=4abd25ab-9425-42ee-8612-75c0164d13d5 ro noapic Build Date: 01 December 2020 05:59:57PM xorg-server 2:1.20.4-1+deb10u2 (https://www.debian.org/support) Current version of pixman: 0.36.0 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure you have the latest version.

I hope this is useful. Is there any more information I can provide to help get this matter resolved? -- Regards, Daniel James
