The quick overview for 2.6.34:
- LogFS file system optimized for SSDs
- Ceph file system for huge clustered systems
- Nouveau kernel driver (this one is a bit controversial)
- The ability to switch between multiplexed GPUs on notebooks
- Note this requires X to be restarted

Are there any definite plans on actually using nouveau and/or radeon?
I know they get shipped and we can use them but will the standards stick to
nv
/ radeonhd?

What's the current state on radeonhd anyways? There is traffic on the
mailinglist but radeon looks just moving much more quickly these days, even
though I can't judge on actual quality.
But forcing people to use one over the other will always lead to missing
features, in this case that opensuse won't have kms on every graphics card
out
of the box, while afaik most distributions use radeon (XOrg default)

I'm going to have to defer to the X guys on this one.
