I compiled a custom kernel in F14 using the Fedora source RPM, and
created a custom initramfs for it using dracut. It boots, and X tries
to load nouveau, but it fails and falls back to VESA. Here is the
pertinent section from Xorg.0.log while it was booting.
44.002] (II) NOUVEAU driver
[ 44.002] (II) NOUVEAU driver for NVIDIA chipset families :
[ 44.002] RIVA TNT (NV04)
[ 44.002] RIVA TNT2 (NV05)
[ 44.002] GeForce 256 (NV10)
[ 44.002] GeForce 2 (NV11, NV15)
[ 44.002] GeForce 4MX (NV17, NV18)
[ 44.002] GeForce 3 (NV20)
[ 44.002] GeForce 4Ti (NV25, NV28)
[ 44.002] GeForce FX (NV3x)
[ 44.002] GeForce 6 (NV4x)
[ 44.002] GeForce 7 (G7x)
[ 44.002] GeForce 8 (G8x)
[ 44.002] (II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa
[ 44.002] (II) FBDEV: driver for framebuffer: fbdev
[ 44.002] (++) using VT number 1
[ 44.008] drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
[ 44.082] [drm] failed to load kernel module "nouveau"
[ 44.082] (EE) [drm] failed to open device
It isn't clear to me why it failed. Can anyone clarify for me what is
wrong here and how I should fix it? I think my device is a 4MX in the
list above.
Thanks.
