Nouveau - Sep 2012 - [Bug 54892] New: [patch] confusing error message with noaccel

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54892

             Bug #: 54892
           Summary: [patch] confusing error message with noaccel
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: xorg
           Version: git
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/nouveau
        AssignedTo: nouveau at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: freedesktop at bzzt.net
         QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org


When the kernel module is given the 'noaccel' option, but acceleration
is not
turned off in the x.org configuration, a confusing '-19' (ENODEV) error
appears
in the x.org logs.

The patch at
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/nouveau/2012-June/010523.html provides a
more useful error message.

--- Comment #1 from Ilia Mirkin <imirkin at alum.mit.edu> ---
I don't think the bugtracker is the right place for patch submission.
Doesn't
look like it ever got checked in. You could try resending it and providing a
fuller justification -- it's a bit odd to special-case a single error
return.
Documentation in e.g. the wiki may be a better way to go. (But I'm not the
one
accepting/rejecting the patches :) )
