I am using Debian wheezy i386 with an Nvidia video card and the default nouveau driver. Everytime I switch back and forth between the X console (tty7) and a text console (such as tty1), tty1 gets spammed with messages like this:
[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Setting dpms mode 3 on vga encoder (output 0) [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Setting dpms mode 0 on vga encoder (output 0) [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Output VGA-1 is running on CRTC 0 using output A I assume that mode 3 is graphics mode (X server) and mode 0 is text mode (frame buffer simulated text console). Similar messages occur if I stay in a text console long enough for the power management feature to turn off the display and then I re-activate the display again (such as by pressing the Shift key by itself). Apparently, when power management kicks in, I get dmps mode 1; and when I re-activate the console it switches back to dpms mode 0. I do not get these results on another computer which uses the Nvidia proprietary driver (nvidia), nor did I get such results using this computer back when I used the older free nvidia driver (nv), which has since been dropped from the distribution. I consider these messages to be noise messages and I wish to suppress them. I don't mind if they are written to the kernel log, but I don't ever want to see them written to the console itself (except maybe during boot). I tried searching the internet, but I didn't find anything useful. Is there a way to suppress these messages without suppressing true error messages? Maybe there's a module option that I can set in /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf, or something along those lines? Any help will be appreciated. -- .''`.
