Erm, that's a lie. I've been meaning to fix it. I'm like 99.999% sure it always has to be nvXX_fucYYY[cd]. I'll double-check it again before updating the wiki. Putting it in /lib/firmware/nouveau is sufficient -- adding in the kernel version also works, but you'd normally just do that for firmware that was kernel version dependent, which this isn't. > > My 3.13-rc7 test kernel was compiled with the procedure in > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild; the .config lines > containing "nouveau" are > CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=m > CONFIG_NOUVEAU_DEBUG=5 > CONFIG_NOUVEAU_DEBUG_DEFAULT=3 > CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU_BACKLIGHT=y > and kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko is on the modules.order list, > not the modules.builtin list. Don't know what to say. It just uses request_firmware() so it's whatever the kernel's normal mechanism for loading firmware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1243557 Title: 10de:1056 [Dell Latitude E6520] [NVS 4200M] X freeze, "unhandled status 0x00800000" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nouveau/+bug/1243557/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
