Hi Ilia,

 most of my expectations would be met, if I were able to get a decent
resolution from the GK106. As it is the card is not recognized, and it
falls back to VESA with 1280x1024 which is pathetic. I have not much
need or expectation on speed.

Cheers
Martin

That's not normal. Please post logs. Perhaps you have nouveau
blacklisted or something like that? Nouveau should definitely
recognize your card.
