I think you should file a bug against the nouveau driver on
bugs.freedesktop.org (xorg -> driver -> nouveau).

Yes, I'll do so when I have figured out how to apply the patch to
the nouveau driver from freedesktop.org. The patch is *againsts the
kernel source*, like: --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/core/... +++
b/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/core/... but the structure of the driver
from git is: nouveau/drm/core/... (sorry for being so clueless, but
I never dealt with kernel modules ...)


Check rhbz #1121331, recent comments.

Thank you for your detailed instructions on bugzilla, they were easy to
follow - but on reboot, the gpu fan began to roar like before, although
no errors occurred during the process of building and installing the
nouveau module:

1. The nouveau source from git got patched by your patchfile in exactly
the same way as the kernel source tree got patched by "my" patchfile.
The four respective files were identical.

Are all four files inside nouveau or is there one or a couple that patch
something else?

2. The make process of the nouveau module finished without error, I
copied nouveau.ko to
/lib/modules/3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64/updates/

3. After depmod, modinfo -n showed the appropriate location of the module:
/lib/modules/3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64/updates/nouveau.ko

So I really can't figure out what happened, I repeated the process of
rebuilding the complete kernel tree and got a quiet fan again ...

a) Does your patch modify the version number of the driver, and if so,
b) After installing the new driver, does "modinfo nouveau" show your
new version?
