I was getting a glicthy checkerboard mess at the cursor in some programs
(konsol+) with
# cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-2-amd64
root=UUID=4107d1db-62a3-427c-8515-c954a103ce25 ro text quiet
changed the command line in a blind attempt to:
$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-2-amd64
root=UUID=4107d1db-62a3-427c-8515-c954a103ce25 ro
nouveau.config=NvForcePost=1 acpi_osi=Linux text quiet
The cursor bug disappeared. <grin>
My understanding of the command-line bits is not perfect - but I think that
acpi_osi=Linux tells
acpi to get along with linux - not understanding what
nouveau.config=NvForcePost=1 does - google
failed me.
If someone can explain what I did - you will make an old man smile..
nouveau still complains a bit - not sure it is important.
