Hello, I switched from the proprietary nvidia-drivers to nouveau under Gentoo. I use a Dual-Monitor Setup: one is connected to the DVI-I and the other one to the HDMI output of my Nvidia GTX 770. Under my Manjaro installation I use the proprietary driver and everything works; under Gentoo everything was fine with the nvidia-drivers, too. Now I can boot without errors into Gentoo when only one of the monitors is connected, no matter which one. However, when both monitors are attached to the graphics card, I cannot access a tty or my graphical login manger: the screens turn off showing "no input signal". Me not being able to access my Gentoo installation by booting into it when the error happens, I chrooted into it and used cat /var/log/dmesg. I know that this is not what the nouveau reporting guide suggests for obtaining a kernel log, but if I run dmesg from my chrooted environment I obviously get the kernel log of my Manjaro boot. If there is another better way for obtaining the kernel log, please let me know. VBIOS is following in a few minutes. If there is anything else missing, let me know. lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 770] (rev a1) kernel version: x86-64 4.0.5-linux-gentoo nouveau version: x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.11 libdrm version: x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.59 mesa version: media-libs/mesa-10.3.7-r1 X server: x11-base/xorg-server-1.16.4

dmesg from /var/log/dmesg
Not sure if important, but the vbios is from Gentoo when only one monitor was connected.

/var/log/dmesg with kernel command line added drm.debug=14 log_buf_len=16M
Having in mind that this could also be a Gennto-specific Bug or could be a badly configured kernel, do you have any suggestions for my kernel config? I think I followed all instructions to get nouveau to work also due to it working with only one monitor connected, but there's also the possibility that I forgot something, so feel free to ask or suggest something that helps solving this.
In your first dmesg, you have:
video=HDMI-0:e video=DVI-I-1:e
Are these required for something? Force-enabling this stuff just leads to
trouble down the line.
Interesting....

nvkm_mask(device, 0x6900c0 + hdmi, 0x00000001, 0x00000001);
690000 + hdmi / 6900c0 + hdmi each get 2 reads/writes, but you only see one
error, both times on the enable. I wonder if this code doesn't need to be more
like
u32 foo = nvkm_rd32(device, 0x690000 + hdmi);
nvkm_wr32(device, 0x690000 + hdmi, foo & ~1);
...
nvkm_wr32(device, 0x690000 + hdmi, foo | 1);
and same sort of thing for the second section. Are comfortable enough with code
to try this on your own, or do you need patches?
Oh these two video options were for testing and did not show any effect. I accidently took this kernel log, but the other ones without these options looked the same. I'm not that into compiling everything on my own (except for some of the easy or self written parts; or when gentoo does it for me ;)), but I'm willing to learn and been always looking for a good reason to get myself doing something like this and not thinking that others will do it or that it does not have enough advantages. So just that I got it right: I get the source code from the nouveau git repository, change the affected code parts, follow the instructions in the readme etc. and compile nouveau as a module to load it. Is it enough that I just download a snapshot and do a out-of-tree compilation? Is it compatible with my kernel? (because it says it contains the 3.x versions and my version is 4) Which settings do I need to enable in my kernel that are not trivial? Sorry for so many questions, but I'd really like to get this done.

Doesn't matter what code you grab, it should basically be the same for the past many kernel versions. Nouveau got a bit of a rewrite in 4.3, so the code might look a bit different if you use an older kernel, but it's the same idea. If this is your first time compiling a kernel, then it might get a bit tricky. First grab a kernel, compile it, make sure you can boot it, and *then* make the relevant changes.
Oh I misunderstood something about the kernel sources :D. Thougt this included more afford ;). I configured my current kernel by myself and it is bootable except for the multi-monitor problem. I'm going to try it now.
Ok I'm sorry to ask again, but I've got no idea what the methods nvkm_mask,
read, and wr32 are expecting, returning or doing, so I cannot
think by myself what to do...
(By the way in my sources they are just named nv_*.)
So where can I find documentation about it or where are they defined?
I'm familiar with (userspace) C, but not in these dimensions
and I don't know how to locate the definition of a function except for
looking in all included headers recursively...
Did I understand you correctly, that I should make the changes like this:
(again I've got no idea what these functions do, so it might be nonsense)
/* AVI InfoFrame */
u32 foo = nvkm_rd32(device, 0x690000 + hdmi);
nvkm_wr32(device, 0x690000 + hdmi, foo & ~1);
nvkm_wr32(device, 0x69000c + hdmi, 0x0000006f);
nvkm_wr32(device, 0x690010 + hdmi, 0x00000000);
nvkm_wr32(device, 0x690014 + hdmi, 0x00000000);
nvkm_wr32(device, 0x690018 + hdmi, 0x00000000);
nvkm_wr32(device, 0x690000 + hdmi, foo | 1);
/* ??? InfoFrame? */
u32 foo = nvkm_rd32(device, 0x6900c0 + hdmi);
nvkm_wr32(device, 0x6900c0 + hdmi, foo & ~1);
nvkm_wr32(device, 0x6900cc + hdmi, 0x00000010);
nvkm_wr32(device, 0x6900c0 + hdmi, foo | 1);

Remove the second 'u32' and you should be good to go.
Ok I changed the file, it compiled fine (with a little C90 standard warning). On bootup I still get the message at the HDMI Monitor: No input. The DVI Monitor just stays black, not sure if this is specific to this monitor, but I think it usually shows such a message, too. So the symtpoms are the same. In the last post I accidentally removed one line too much, which I did not in the source code I used to compile it. The kernel log has changed a bit.

/var/log/dmesg after changes in ./drm/.../hdmigk104.c
I changed to the nouveau driver in Manjaro and the same issue came up. Unfortunately I'm not able to obtain a kernel log in a chrooted environment in Manjaro, so there is none attached. If someone knows how to do this, please just answer. (There's no file like dmesg in other distributions in /var/log/). Anyway, the symptoms are the same, so it is not a gentooish bug, but really a bug in nouveau...
Just saw this (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91705) thread which is about the same problem on another card so its not just this card. I don't know if this helps, but I hope so. (You probably know this already, but just in case.)
Just compiled the new gentoo-4.0.9 sources and the problem persists.
When I changed it in Manjaro it was using 4.1.11 I think.

kernel log after upgrade to gentoo-4.1.15-r1
The monitors still turn off and I think it's the exact same thing as before.
Just wanted to keep this up-to-date.

The latest release would be 4.4, which includes the big rewrite from 4.3, whereas 4.1.15 will only include fixes that were back ported (and Nouveau doesn't send many fixes to stable version). Sorry I can't help more than that: I don't have the correct setup and have no knowledge about that part of Nouveau.
I meant the latest kernel release in sys-kernel/gentoo-sources, but I think, I'll try some more recent sources to find out whether the problem is fixed or not and I'll keep this thread up-to-date.

dmesg of the 4.4 kernel from the gentoo sys-kernel/git-sources
I upgraded to the 4.4 release of the kernel today, but still the same error
happens. I think the syntax of the output was slightly changed, but all in all
it's still the same thing.
If you need any other information, tell me.
Hi, I now have both monitors attached via DVI and now the system boots up. However the monitors now display both the same picture with the same frequency and resolution - they are mirrored. I haven't really tried to solve this by now and I am not sure whether this is a X or a nouveau problem, but my X configuration is apparently not read at all. On the other hand, this mirroring is also the case while booting. So I need to figure out what the problem is and let you know what it was. This all being the case and me not knowing how the driver is constructed, I think you can isolate the problem to somewhere, but I don't really know where. I hope this somehow helps.
Ok, the same problem occurs just in the consoles, too. So it's not a X problem.
AFAIK, the mirrored behaviour in console mode is expected. What happens if you run `xrandr --output ID_OF_YOUR_RIGHT_SCREEN --right-of ID_OF_YOUR_LEFT_SCREEN`, with the id being of the form DVI-I-1? Can you link your Xorg config file here, and tell us where it is placed on your system?
