Just linux-image-6.1.0-0.a.test-amd64-unsigned_6.1.38-2a~test_amd64.deb
would've been enough, but this works too ;-)

This is fantastic \o/

I looked at them, but there wasn't one that stood out for me.
You could try them one by one, but that'll take quite a while.
So I suggest we move on the the next step/phase: contact the upstream
developers, who are also the ones who'd make the actual fix.
So I want to ask you to write an email and send that:
To: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
To: nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org
CC: 1042753@bugs.debian.org (optionally)
And then 'paste' in the text of your initial bug report until this part:
[ 3.561131] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
I suggest to also include the output of
`lspci -v -s $(lspci | grep -i vga | awk '{ print $1 }')
Tell them that you found out that it was a regression between upstream kernel
version 6.1.27 and 6.1.38.
Then explain that you build a new 6.1.38 kernel with these commits reverted:
62aecf23f3d1 drm/nouveau: add nv_encoder pointer check for NULL
fb725beca62d drm/nouveau/dp: check for NULL nv_connector->native_mode
90748be0f4f3 drm/nouveau: don't detect DSM for non-NVIDIA device
5a144bad3e75 nouveau: fix client work fence deletion race
And that that made graphics work again.
Referencing https://bugs.debian.org/1042753 for full context may also be
useful.
They may ask you to only revert a specific commit as they should be able to
make a proper guess. Or they already know by the context.
With a bit of luck they'll also ask you to try a potential fix. They should be
able to provide such a fix/patch as one which cleanly applies to 6.1.38.
Or otherwise I can probably help with that.
And you can pass that patch (file) as argument to the `test-patches` script :-)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them.
Cheers,
