Bug#772716: src:linux: HP ZBook 15 nouveau driver: a patch exists
Package: src:linux
Followup-For: Bug #772716
Hi,
As I've tested on my HP ZBook 15 laptop, a kernel patch exists in order to be
able to load the nouveau driver. See
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90626#c24
The patch (one line to remove) cannot be added upstream like that but, for
users that suffer from the problem, just patch and recompile the nouveau module
and it will works.
This web page http://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/rebuild_kernel_module.html help me
to only recompile one module (the document must be adapted from Fedora to
Debian but important steps are described)
For the records, in order to use both Intel and NVidia card (for example to
use DVI/HDMI/... outputs), you also need a recent xserver-xorg-video-intel
package, such as the one in experimental (2:2.99.917+git20151019-1~exp1). The
one currently in unstable (2:2.99.917-2) still have lots of rendering problems.
Regards,
Vincent
