Thanks, bigpup, for trying the pet package. Given the info you provided, it would seem that the logic should work as intended for your card. The main thing to verify is that there is a hidden flag file:bigpup wrote:Frugal install with save file.
The pet does not work for me, but I may be using it wrong.
I got back to using nouveau driver.
Installed pet.
Rebooted.
Boots to point of running X server and stops with blinking line top left of screen.
Am I doing it right?

(Click the eye option in rox, to see it.)
If it is not present, then the rules file is faulty. If it is present, then either the config file is incorrect or the flag gets set too late for the loading of the module. Both pieces were cloned from the lucid pup files for the i915 module.
With the i915 case, when used outside of the lupu distro (with other kernels), the results were intermittent at best. So, this technique may be inadequate.
Another way to test the concept is to restore the version of nouveau.conf that sets the mode to 1 and modify it to set 0. If that works, it would confirm that the flag is too late.
