I am trying to get Nouveau running and also playing video.
lspci | grep VGA shows
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [ION] (rev a2)
syslog shows nouveau loaded
But video performance is SLOW - dropping frames.
have I missed something ?
How do I get better video performance ?
Thanks,
Jerry

You can check the perf level your GPU is at, and potentially adjust it.
cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate
This should give a list of levels like "xx: stuff", with the "AC"
level being the current settings. Echo'ing any one of the xx's into
that file will attempt to switch to a different performance level.
Sometimes it works, other times it kills the GPU until you reboot. Use
with care.
Cheers,

Thanks perhaps this is part of the problem:
ls -l /sys/kernel/debug/dri/

Do I not have a package installed ?

This indicates that nouveau is not loaded. (Or loaded and failed
part-way through the load.)

Other than that, you got everything...
Check dmesg for errors.

This is not dmesg. This is some log file. Please look in dmesg.

X is using the VESA driver because nouveau (nor any other DRM driver) is loaded.

Check dmesg for why nouveau didn't load.

I see this error:
nouveau 0000:03:00.0: Direct firmware load for nouveau/nva8_fuc084 failed
I did apt-file search nva8_fuc084
and it did not return anything.

I was looking for you to just run "dmesg", BTW, not read a log file.

Perhaps you had a "nomodeset" in there? That would prevent nouveau
from doing anything useful, although I think it'd still load in that
case.
>>
>> So progress. but still no good.
Check xorg log to make sure you see NOUVEAU lines, not modeset lines.
If you see modeset lines, make sure you force the nouveau DDX driver
to load. (Some distros think it's funny to prevent it from loading by
default...)

This is for video decoding acceleration (vdpau / va-api). You can set
this up by following the instructions at
https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/VideoAcceleration.html . Note that
it's hardly perfect.

These were the kernel command line items I removed.
acpi=off pci=nomsi
The machine seems happier - now - althought I no longer have sound for some
reason - but after installing the firmware - CPU % is way down.

Oh dear. Esp acpi=off is very bad for any post-2010 machine. (The
cut-off is probably earlier, but def by 2010, ACPI is basically
required for things to function.) pci=nomsi won't affect things too
much either way, but I'm not aware of needing to turn off MSI except
for very odd situations.

Nouveau will have registered a second sound adapter (whose sound would
get piped out through HDMI / DP ports, if available). Make sure you're
still using the "right" audio hardware in your settings.
You can also check that pstate file I was talking about earlier to
adjust the power levels of the GPU (either more power / more heat /
less battery or less power / less heat / more battery...)
Good luck,

yes very weird on the sound. Using analog speakers at the moment
I got no test sound - and no video sound after getting nouveau to run
correctly ????
I was playing analog audio before ?
Does nouveau only do HDMI audio ?

nouveau only does HDMI(/DP) audio. A different driver will handle a
built-in sound card (e.g. snd_hda_intel). You might want to reach out
to your distro's support channels to better diagnose what's going on.
Unlikely to have anything to do with nouveau. More likely that you had
added "acpi=off" to hack around this. Or perhaps pci=nomsi for a
broken audio adapter? Don't know. dmesg (not to mention google) will
have the answers.

Thanks - I switched monitors - using a 4K monitor with buildin sound.
Sound works now- great. but the screen is not in 4K .
Does Nouveau not do 4K - 3840x2160?
Thanks!

HA! I just dawned on my the OLD GT218 does not do 4K... The 4K display
looks like a strched for some reason - I thought it would jus tbe the
normal 1080p.
Anyway - got it working - thanks to all the suggestions!

We enforce a max of 165mhz on those boards for HDMI (this is what the
HW is rated for). If you feel like forcing it, you can boot with
nouveau.hdmimhz=300 to allow the 4k resolution. Note that it's a
weaker GPU, and 4k will not be great on it anyways.
