Then, I’m unable to use the card (through Bumblebee or DRI_PRIME, this is an
Optimus system).

I’m running ArchLinux, with the following package versions:

linux 3.17.6
mesa 10.4.1
xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.11

Please tell me if I can do anything helping you to fix this bug.

--- Comment #1 from Ilia Mirkin <imirkin at alum.mit.edu> ---
You haven't really described the issue beyond "not working".

http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Optimus/

Where in those instructions do you run into trouble? I would advise against
bumblebee -- nouveau will automatically put the card to sleep if it's not
being
used, and bumblebee will only interfere with that.

Xorg.8.log

Well, in Bumblebee, this result in the attached Xorg.8.log, this is when trying
to run glxinfo through optirun, and glxinfo works, but the output states this
is not nouveau, but Gallium using LLVM pipe.

With bumblebee and bbswitch disabled, and after clean reboot, the result of
modprobing nouveau is naturally still the same, and I can’t use DRI_PRIME
since:

[151022.040] (EE) NOUVEAU(0): Failed to initialise context object: 2D_NVC0 (0)
[151022.040] (EE) NOUVEAU(0): Error initialising acceleration.  Falling back to
NoAccel

Two observations --

(a) nouveau isn't being added as a GPU but rather as a "primary"
video card. I
had assumed you had one of the new-fangled optimus situations where the screens
are attached to the igpu and 3d offloading can be done to the secondary gpu --
is that not the case? Using an xorg.conf with Device entries tends to mess all
of that up, btw.

(b) That error should have caused some nasties to be printed to dmesg. I think
I know what they are, but I still want to see them.

That is supposed to be the behavior of Bumblebee (two X.org server, one with
the integrated card only, another with the dedicated one only, fired up at
demand, i.e. when you do optirun something), unless I misunderstood something
somewhere.

Indeed, every outputs are attached to my igpu. About xorg.conf files, I have
/etc/bumblebee/xorg.conf.nouveau, which is used by Bumblebee and is attached,
but I’ve also just seen that I have this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier  "Layout0"
    Option      "AutoAddGPU" "false"
EndSection

I’m going to comment that section and restart X to see if it changes anything
about DRI_PRIME.

You’re absolutely right, here they are:

Right, so this will disable adding the nouveau as a "GPU" screen,
which means
no prime.>

Yep, those are the errors I was afraid of. Try booting with
"nouveau.runpm=0"
-- this will disable the auto-sleep thing I talked about. Not a permanent
solution, but I want to see if that gets things going or not.

cat /proc/cmdline returns nouveau.runpm=0 correctly, but optirun glxinfo is

And as for what is concerning PRIME, commenting the AutoAddGPU device didn’t
changed anything, except for Xorg.0.log reporting this obviously:
[   136.219] (==) Automatically adding GPU devices

It think the issue is somewhere here (from the page you’ve linked):
KMS drivers for both GPUs loaded.
DDX drivers for both GPUs loaded.

nouveau does not load automatically at boot, I need to modprobe it manually. Is
there a way to check or ensure nouveau KMS is loaded?

This means you're not going to get acceleration no matter how hard you try
to
change your config, I'm afraid. See bug 70354.

X has to start after nouveau loads, otherwise it doesn't know about the
nouveau
adapter. (This may no longer be the case with DRI3-based offloading
actually...)

Then, is there a way to force nouveau to load at boot, and else, is restarting
X after loading nouveau supposed to work (for the record, tried that, and it
doesn’t work either, but I’m not sure if it is supposed to work since it looks
like I’m indeed affected by the issue you’ve linked).

The GPU's graph unit, responsible for all acceleration, is having trouble
initializing. You would still be able to use reverse-prime though, I think.
(i.e. use the intel gpu to render to screens attached to the nvidia gpu --
sometimes HDMI/etc are that way).

Depends on the "it" that you're talking about. You should be
seeing
NOUVEAU(GPU-0) messages in your xorg log if you start X after nouveau has
loaded. Do you not?

OK, but that’s pointless here, I’ve choose this laptop after being sure that
HDMI and mini-DP were wired to the Intel GPU.

I was talking of restarting X after loading nouveau, since I know no way to
force nouveau to load at boot. I wasn’t seeing those lines, but I’ve figured
out it was because of this section of the multiple xorg.conf files:

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "Backlight"     "intel_backlight"
EndSection

Since I’m currently not needing it (because in my actual configuration it has
no effect, but that’s another story), I commented this out, and it does “work”,
in the sense that I get the attached Xorg.0.log, and obviously the following
lines in dmesg:
