 Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2017 11:26 am Post subject: fb: switching to nouveayfb from efi vga |
 |
|
Hello,
I wanted to install xorg on my fresh gentoo install so i went to the wiki to see what needs to be done.\
The wiki said i needed some things in my kernel so i recompiled my kernel to make sure i had them.
| Code: | <*> Support for frame buffer devices --->
<*> Framebuffer Console Support |
Then i disabled all the other framebuffer drivers like the guide told me exept for the efi one because i am using uefi.
then i did | Code: | | <*> Nouveau (nVidia) cards |
when i booted it freezes on "fb: switching to nouveayfb from efi vga"
https://imgur.com/a/ei5nR here is a foto sorry i cant paste the dmesg because i cant boot
I have my grub installed in the /boot of my arch install.
Here is my grub.cfg | Code: | #

When i did some googling around i found that some people where able to solve this problem by putting "nomodeset noveau.modeset=0" at the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in :/etc/default/grub
Here is my /etc/default/grub
| Code: | GRUB_DEFAULT="0"
GRUB_TIMEOUT="5"
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset noveau.modeset=0"
# Preload both GPT and MBR modules so that they are not missed

# Uncomment to enable Hidden Menu, and optionally hide the timeout count
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT="5"
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET="true"
# Uncomment to use basic console
GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT="console"
# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal
#GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
GRUB_GFXMODE="1920x1080"
# Uncomment to allow the kernel use the same resolution used by grub

Im now compiling a kernel with | Code: | | <M> Nouveau (nVidia) cards |
because i read that noveau sometimes doesnt support newer cards.
I can confirm that noveau doesnt like my card because on other distros (arch ubuntu opensuse) i got really bad performance with noveau. |
