> No. My debug patch would have to be redone for a kernel that old. Instead, please take a recent kernel and apply my debug patch to it, and boot. The other patches are actually probably not necessary either -- they just change what gets written where, whereas I'm trying to figure out a potential issue with the execution flow. You don't even have to go into X or test anything (but you can) -- I just want to see the dmesg that happens when nouveau loads with that debug patch. (But obviously make sure that your hdmi-audio-capable device is plugged in at the time.)

Please give me an exact kernel version you'd be comfortable with.
Most likely my Linus copy is already a little old;  OTOH, I can
easily go out and get 3.10.3 (or whatever kernel du jour there might be);  etc.

For dmesg, I assume (but please confirm):

NOUVEAU_DEBUG=7
nouveau.debug=PDISP=spam

For patches:  only dmesg-3? or what else exactly?.

BTW:  Don't worry about X.  I ain't gonna touch it this time :)

Thanks,
