Description of problem: The nouveau kernel module no longer recognizes a GeForce 7300GT card. When modprobing nouveau, the driver is loaded but is silent (no dmesg output). No /dev/dri/card0 or /dev/dri/controlD64 device node is created. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64 kernel-3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.rmmod nouveau 2.modprobe nouveau Actual results: nothing happens Expected results: some dmesg output, device nodes /dev/dri/card0 and /dev/dri/controlD64 created Additional info: It used to work throughout several fedora releases, including 14 and 15. On the bright side, nv recognizes the card and drives the LC panel using its native resolution (1600x1200). This never worked so far, nv always chose a smaller resolution.

Can I see your dmesg output please.
It turned out that the problem was the nomodeset kernel parameter. I added it in the fedora14 timeframe (because it wouldn't work otherwise). Removing it now makes nouveau work as expected.
