Nouveau issues
I just rebooted my system, for the first time in a few days. i was having some performance issues with my desktop, so i thought i'd try out the nouveau git packages, and on reboot, X failed to load. the error in the xorg log, was something to the effect of no drm device found when probing the bus. but lspci still listed the card. so i reinstalled the nouveau driver from the repo that was running previously, and same result
my card is an Asus 8800GT, wondering if anyone else has had issues with the 8000 series cards with recent updates. maybe there's another package that botched it on me somewhere between the last few days?
I also tried running with just the nv driver, and get nothing but garbled juibberish on the screen. so i'm wondering if during that reboot my card died, or if the nv driver just isn't compatible with my card

Re: Nouveau issues
Do you have the firmware package installed? I don't believe that is automatically added when you use nouveau.

Re: Nouveau issues
it worked for me. the garbled screen when trying to use the nv driver was really looking like a hardware issue though at first. everything's fine though

Re: Nouveau issues
The bug I opened on this was fixed by the libdrm 2.4.18-2 update, which patches out the particular changes that broke us here, while giving us the rest of the 2.4.18 changes.
