<div><div dir="auto">For point of reference the nouveau driver in 4.9 (per Debian 9.3) had a terrible time on Juno but has become remarkably stable as of 4.15.3 - I found that Ubuntu Bionic installs beautifully - but I’ve not tried it on my McBin yet. I never saw any speckling in any case. I believe the runtime PM is disabled by default or at least that’s what my sysfs lead me to believe.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I did have to tell GDM not to use Wayland. It’s super unstable... and much slower (which is odd to me since on x86 it is noticeably snappier than Xorg). But the tippy top GNOME works a treat!</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div>On Fri, Mar 2, 2018 at 18:00 Stuart Monteith <<a href="mailto:stoo@stoo.me.uk">stoo@stoo.me.uk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br>
So, all the cool kids are running their Bins with a graphics card, so I’ve gone and tried the same:<br>

<br>
So, some success.<br>
<br>
Initially I was just getting a black screen with a mouse pointer. Creating /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf with the following contents worked somewhat:<br>
<br>
options nouveau noaccel=1 runpm=0 nofbaccel=1 modeset=1<br>
<br>
I suspect some more tweaking is in order.<br>
<br>
What I am finding is that there is speckling on the screen - single-pixel high horizontal lines of I’d guess around 32 pixels. These don’t appear in the screenshot (unsurprisingly).<br>
<br>
I’ve offered to test this configuration to see if there are lock ups, but I’d like to get rid of the speckling too. There are other issues with my setup, so this no doubt compounding the issues.<br>
I also have a Kabylaby PC with a free PCI-e slot I might be able to compare against.<br>
<br>
It is quite nice that the HDMI audio works flawlessly - if YouTube in a browser works, then anything should work.,<br>
