Title:
[regression] Trusty kernel doesn't recognize GeForce 8600m GT nor with
nouveau or nvidia drivers
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When loading trusty (also from a brand new live-USB) in an Acer Aspire 5920G, that has a Nvidia 8600m GT card, the nouveau driver fails to load and the UI falls back to llvmpipe.
Using noacpi kernel cmdline doesn't help.
The highlights from dmesg are:
[ 20.051842] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0004 -> 0007)
[ 20.052191] [drm] hdmi device not found 1 0 1
[ 20.052340] nouveau E[ DEVICE][0000:01:00.0] unknown chipset, 0xffffffff

[ 20.052540] nouveau: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -22
Installing the Nvidia drivers 331 or current (304) gives out a similar
error when loading the nvidia kernel module:

Fun fact is that the card is supported by the latest nvidia drivers as reported by their appendix [1].
Also they used to work in 12.04.
So, I've manually installed the saucy kernel, and with it both nouveau and nvidia modules are loaded properly, making X to load the proper driver and GLX to work.
Everything works also using the daily mainline kernel linux-image-3.15.0-999-generic_3.15.0-999.201404190220_amd64.deb.
Thus this seems to indicate pretty clearly that the bug is inside the trusty linux kernel itself.
