Nouveau - May 2017 - GTX 1080 Ti (NV132/GP102)

Thanks for the info. Two issues:

If I don't set `nomodeset` in the Linux args I get a freeze at boot. Know
anything about that?

Another issue is that in Google Chrome I seem have no hardware acceleration
for anything other than "Multiple Raster Threads". See attached.

If my kernel/libs are too old, please just tell me to fluff off. But I am
on the development branch of Ubuntu...

"nomodeset" is another way of saying "disable all graphics
stuff".
Since "graphics stuff" is what you're trying to achieve, this
isn't a
viable workaround.

Would have to see the logs to see why you're getting a freeze on boot
when nouveau actually tries to load.

Two things: you are using nomodeset, and hardware acceleration for Pascal cards
was only merged in 4.12 (which has not been released yet), as pointed out by
Ilia.

Since the Ubuntu 17.10 that I'm running now has Linux 4.12, there should be
some support for my card, yet I still experience the same phenomenon.

If I DO NOT use `nomodeset`, I see the boot log shooting through and then
blank. I can tell that it is not a system halt, because I can
ctrl-alt-delete and the OS catches that and safely reboots.

It is the official Ubuntu 4.12.0-11-generic, x86_64.

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP102 [GeForce GTX
1080 Ti] (rev a1)

How can I further help you help me, please?
