In "https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/VideoAcceleration.html"; -> "Which card has what engine" section, it asks to run "dmesg | grep -i chipset" to find out the chip I have. In my case, I get % sudo dmesg | grep -i chipset on a chipset that contains an erratum making that [ 21.329940] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00_set_rt: Info - RT chipset 5390, rev 0502 detected [ 21.358780] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00_set_rf: Info - RF chipset 5370 detected I do not know how to proceed after this. That section lists various things such as VPE1, VPE2 etc., but it is not clear how to map the above output to one of the engines. > Your random reboots are unrelated to that. Thanks. That is good to know. -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi | http://www.kamaraju.xyz/dk/blog
