Has anyone experience with Nvidia cards without closed source drivers
and newer kernels?
Recently my AMD card died, so I got a fast replacement from a friend - a
GeForce GTX 660.
With the kernel 5.5.9, the PC stops booting after GRUB. The kernel tries
to set the resolution of the console and stops. X is not even attempting
to start.
Therefore I checked different kernels:
5.11.16: Not working
5.5.9: Not working
5.4.114: Working, X is starting and I even have some 3D acceleration
(kicad 3D view, Extreme tux racer, however Civilization 6 is crashing
the system).
5.2.9: Working.
With the working kernels, I however see the following error:
Nvidiafb: cannot requests PCI regions
But the system continues to work. So I tried to compile 5.11.16 without
this module - no change compared to 5.5.9.
Any Ideas? I don't want to install the closed source module, I had
enough pain with fglrx ~10 years ago.
