Bug Description
i have a MacBookPro3,1 with a NVIDIA Corporation G84M [GeForce 8600M GT] (rev a1) video card. while in ubuntu 15.10 everything worked fine, after the upgrade in 16.04 the legacy nvidia-304 drivers do not. the X11 fails to start, the relevant lines in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file are
[ 3021.745] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA GPU at PCI:1:0:0. Please
[ 3021.745] (EE) NVIDIA(0): check your system's kernel log for additional error
[ 3021.745] (EE) NVIDIA(0): messages and refer to Chapter 8: Common Problems in the
[ 3021.745] (EE) NVIDIA(0): README for additional information.
[ 3021.745] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device!
[ 3021.745] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failing initialization of X screen 0
[ 3021.745] (II) UnloadModule: "nvidia"
and the journalctl --dmesg gives
kernel: NVRM: failed to copy vbios to system memory.
kernel: NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x30:0xfffffff
kernel: NVRM: rm_init_adapter(0) failed
nevertheless, the nvidia kernel module is loaded without a problem.
i also tried more recent versions of nvidia-X but without success. they either fail with the same messages as above or they do not support the video card.
