dmesg using vanilla 5.2.14 on openSUSE Tumbleweed

Original summary:
nouveau won't load (not available) on Sony laptop with NVIDIA G86M [GeForce 8400M GT] ID: 10de:0426 

This errant behavior is similarly exhibited by openSUSE Tumbleweed, 15.0, 13.1 and 12.2; Linuxmint 19.0 live installation media; Knoppix 8.2 and 8.6 live media; antiX 17.4. Using vanilla kernel 5.2.14 doesn't help.

Actual behavior:
1-nouveau kernel module doesn't load
2-ttys limited to 1024x768 mode
3-X runs only with VESA or FBDEV drivers and limited to 1024x768 mode
4-/dev/dri/card0 is absent
5-hwinfo reports HDTV display supports maximum VESA 1024x768 mode
6-GeForce 8400M gfx reported by lspci is not found by Xorg
7-[drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci:0000:01:00.0: -19
8-hwinfo improperly detects display
9-laptop locks up (requires poweroff reset) unless cmdline includes acpi=off

Expected behavior:
1-ttys use display's native 1920x1080 mode
2-X uses modesetting DDX or nouveau DDX and native 1920x1080 mode

Comment 1 Felix Miata 2019-09-15 16:46:15 UTC
http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/Nv/ is my data and logs collection since beginning to troubleshoot this.
Comment 2 Zhang Rui 2019-09-16 01:57:25 UTC
hmm, this sounds like a graphics issue, please file a bug at freedesktop.org instead.
Comment 3 Felix Miata 2019-09-16 02:08:31 UTC
Yes it's a graphics issue, caused because the kernel won't load the nouveau kernel module.

Comment 6 Zhang Rui 2019-09-29 08:06:24 UTC
I mean you should file a bug at freedesktop.org, the nouveau related bugs are handled there.
This bug is closed.
Comment 7 Felix Miata 2019-09-29 09:51:58 UTC
And I mean this is a kernel module bug, not a freedesktop bug.
Comment 8 Felix Miata 2019-09-29 10:47:09 UTC
I finally stumbled onto https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ which does claim to be the right place, even though most of freedesktop has moved to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/ where I had no luck finding anything about nouveau. Sorry for the noise.
