Nouveau drivers not working properly
by arilogue from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6DJ84)
Hi,
I have an old computer with Nvidia 7150m graphic card.
It's a deprecated graphic card for Nvidia. There are no drivers compatible with new Linux kernels and new x.org versions so it's now must work with Nouveau.
But no matter what distro I use, Nouveau does not work properly. You can see how it works in the attached image.
Screen
I can't get a decent display without adding "nomodeset" to the kernel parameters. This causes the maximum resolution to be 1024x768.
I want to use Nouveau properly without using the "nomodeset" parameter. I will be grateful if you could help me.
Thanks from now
Some information about my computer:
