xorg-driver-video-nouveau & GeForce 320M

bigrammy

Hi,
Installed a new ssd but after updating the fresh install I get the famous blank screen using the current com.solus-project.current.5.13.x-xxx Kernel.
The initial installed Kernel works great & the pre 5.13 kernels seemed to work fine on the previous old hdd.
The initial installed Kernel uses the xorg-driver-video-nouveau for the installed GeForce 320M.
Should I open a ticket or is this the end of the road for the GeForce 320M on the 5.13 kernel ?

bigrammy That is an old graphic card. If you have issues with current linux kernel you can try linux-lts.

algent Hi, Thanks for the reply. 😃 I am aware it's an old graphic card but it was working great with the current linux kernel up until kernel 5.13.
I just wondered what changed in the 5.13 kernel that stopped it working, maybe I could find a workaround if I knew what changed. 😅

That's just the changes between 5.13.0 -> 5.13.1
https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/ChangeLog-5.13 much much larger

algent Thanks

Harvey And Thanks
Yes point taken it would be like looking for a needle in a huge haystack so I guess I will be sticking where I am.

I guess this can be marked as solved.
