Hi all, I have just started using Nouveau, with Fedora 12. I downloaded the source from the Nouveau kernel repository, and built it by following the instructions in the Nouveau Wiki page. The new Linux kernel with Nouveau seems to work without any problems, but I found some error messages in the kernel log. The attached file contains the kernel messages related to the Nouveau DRM, which I copied and pasted from the original kernel log. To my understanding, two errors occured when the nouveau_channel_alloc() function is called. In particular, the first one occured when modprobe is done, and the second one did when Xorg is launched. I am not sure if these errors are actually "BUGs" or not. Wish someone gives me some advice for them. I am using the GeForce 9500 GT card installed on the DELL T5500 machine (X86-64 eight-core). Please tell me if I need to give more information to get answers. Best regards, - Shinpei -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Just upgrade the kernel. Marcin
Dear Marcin, Thanks for your response. You are right. The latest git has fixed this bug. In fact, the out-of-tree Nouveau module was conflicting with the one included in the kernel tree in my machine, since I tried the module independently before. It is my appologie for this careless question.
