Hi Joanand, Shouldn't the patch for driver/gpu/drm/nouveau/core/subdev/bar/nv50.c rather be + line 233: int ret, i; + line 351: for(i = 0; i < 8; i++) + line 352: nv_wr32(priv, 0x001900 + (i * 4), 0x00000000); By the way, on top of which commit/kernel are you applying the patch? Yeah, if you try with acceleration you end up with bug 27501 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27501). EFIFB should not be the problem: it is removed by nouveau at some point, to be replaced by nouveaufb, which seems to be not rightly configured (or the accesses to it), bringing screen corruption. I have a 5,3 (iirc) MacBook Pro (mid 2009) 15.6", with the same graphic cards, resolution is also 1440x900. Pierre
