[Macchiato] Asus GT710 graphics card

[Stuart Monteith]

Hi,
   So, all the cool kids are running their Bins with a graphics card, so I’ve gone and tried the same:

        http://photos.stoo.me.uk/Lorca/first-lorca-screenshot.png

So, some success.

Initially I was just getting a black screen with a mouse pointer. Creating /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf with the following contents worked somewhat:

     options nouveau noaccel=1 runpm=0 nofbaccel=1 modeset=1

I suspect some more tweaking is in order.

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).

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.
I also have a Kabylaby PC with a free PCI-e slot I might be able to compare against.

It is quite nice that the HDMI audio works flawlessly  - if YouTube in a browser works, then anything should work.,


BR,
    Stuart
