It's a bit of a mystery unfortunately. Adding to the annoyance, Ben said that it does work just fine on his NVC8, although he has the less powerful versions. Could be something with high ROP/TPC/GPC counts not being handled. (Or multiple PARTs?) That might actually be an interesting experiment -- before loading nouveau, mask out a bunch of the units and see if it helps. If it does, find the "breaking" point. This is the code that computes that stuff: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~darktama/nouveau/tree/nvkm/engine/graph/nvc0.c#n1330 priv->rop_nr = (nv_rd32(priv, 0x409604) & 0x001f0000) >> 16; priv->gpc_nr = nv_rd32(priv, 0x409604) & 0x0000001f; for (i = 0; i < priv->gpc_nr; i++) { priv->tpc_nr[i] = nv_rd32(priv, GPC_UNIT(i, 0x2608)); priv->tpc_total += priv->tpc_nr[i]; } Step 1: Print out the various values (i.e. number of ROPs, GPCs, and the per-GPC TPC counts). Step 2: Artificially lower them (to, e.g., 1) and see if it helps. If it does, figure out which of the values matter and where the breaking points are. If it doesn't help, perhaps the units need to be disabled a little harder, e.g. by setting 0x22584/0x22588. -- 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/925048 Title: [GTX 580] X seems to hang a login prompt -- PFIFO errors in dmesg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nouveau/+bug/925048/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
