Re: What to do with base X11 for netbsd-9 ?

Same EFI issue here: EFI/GK208B [GeForce GT 710] gets stuck when 
attempting to configure the card.

Booting via CSM or EFI and nouveau disabled gets the machine up and 
nouveau works fine with acceleration in the CSM case.

Looking at the PCI configuration the main difference is that the CSM 
sets the BusMaster bits to enabled on the bridges while this is not the 
case for EFI.

Also more IO/MEM/ROM bits are set.

I think we still lack sufficient PCI setup when booting via EFI.

(lspci dumps are available on request).
