[Nouveau] Procedure to follow to check if a graphic card is really working without installing windows
Hi people, I'm running archlinux on a clevo p150hm with a nvidia gtx460m. lshw output is attached. I couldn't get it running on any linux distribution, it is not supported by nouveau yet (as it is a NVC3 card) - Am I wrong ? when I use the nvidia driver, I've got a NVRM Xid 44 error (I found nothing about this in google) - and someone on the linux nvidia forum talked about this but had no answers. http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?s=8ce1c561fff6090e96b58841f507cc75&showtopic=59188&view=findpost&p=1309488 The thing is, I don't know how to help, as when every file needed to help nouveau project needs files generated with the nvidia driver, right ? do I have to install windows to check if my GPU is really working ? I use the fbdev xorg driver now, at 1280x800 when using the nvidia driver, I have the logo, then native resolution with some red lines on the screen, then kernel panic. thank you for your help, tosoa. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
