Any update ? The current "nouveau-firmware" package provided by Ubuntu is useless on 2/3 years old and newer graphic hardware. Modern graphic hardware require to extract more blobs.
For arch it is done like this: (see git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/nouveau-fw.git)
nouveau-fw$ cat PKGBUILD # Maintainer: Martin Peres <martin.peres[at]free[dot]fr> # Contributor: Timothée Ravier <tim[at]siosm[dot]fr>
