Xorg.0.log

Attempting to use the latest nouveau driver with my Nvidia GeForce 9400M
results in my screen switching off and/or displaying garbage.

I use a Mac Mini (model late 2009) on an up-to-date Debian Testing with the
latest (git) nouveau driver (as of today). The video card is a Nvidia GeForce
9400M (nVidia Corporation C79 [GeForce 9400] (rev b1)) connected via
mini-diplayport -> VGA to a CRT Iiyama Vision Master Pro 410.

The minidisplay-port -> VGA connector is apparently an active connector.
The video card and the screen work fine under Mac OS X or with the vesa driver.

In attachment is my syslog, Xorg.0.log, lspci, myvga.rom (card's BIOS dump)
and
because it is quite big, a link to the POST trace.

Here is the link to the POST trace (logfile-deloopd.gz):
http://dl.free.fr/d1hBw3kb9

This link will be valid for 30 days. After that I can re-upload it or send it
to whoever is interested.

Can I see a nouveau kernel log with "log_buf_len=1M drm.debug=14
nouveau.reg_debug=0x0200 3" in your boot options?

I'm seeing something similar on the exact same GPU (Macbook 13", late
2009) and
it might be the same bug:

When I connect an external monitor to the minidisplay-port=>DVI adapter then
the external monitor is detected but won't display anything (no signal).

This happens with nouveau-drm and xf86-video-nouvau from today's git. The
same
setup worked with git from 2010-07-23 (see #29171).

dmesg after plugging and unplugging the external monitor a couple of times:

[drm] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: plugged DisplayPort-1
[drm] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: plugged DisplayPort-1
[drm] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: unplugged DisplayPort-1

To Felix Leimbach: I'm not using EFI.

I just boot on a CD with a linux kernel on it and point the root to the
external firewire drive (that's the only way I've managed to boot linux
without
touching the internal drive).
I haven't done anything with Bootcamp or ReFIT, so I suppose that I'm
not using
EFI but instead the "BIOS compatibility" ?

Regards,

(In reply to comment #8)
Yeah, you're using the BIOS emulation (as can be seen by the many BIOS
related
lines in the syslog you attached).
I use rEFIt to triple boot Linux / OSX / Windows and have gone EFI only.

Our bugs might be the same still because the symptom is quite similar and I
don't think it is related to setting up the card.
Let's see what the devs say, though.

See also bug 29820; there the external DVI adapter works on all monitors
tested, but the external VGA adapter fails on all monitors tested (and all the
hardware works just fine under MacOS)

See also similar bug 29714. In this case, corrupted image is displayed on a
laptop screen via embedded DisplayPort (eDP).

It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we
haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty
good
that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot.
(Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git
versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your
distro's
bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report.

In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs
that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please
make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/
for what we need to see, and re-open this one.

Thanks,

The Nouveau Team
