Comment # 7 on bug 979055 from Max Staudt

Nouveau is an experimental driver under constant heavy development.
This means that we cannot follow it closely, as we are not part of its team
with reverse engineered knowledge of NVIDIA cards.


In case you wish to stick with nouveau and to help us improve its support in
openSUSE, you can try our latest kernel, Mesa, and xf86-video-nouveau packages:

  http://kernel.opensuse.org/
  https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/X11:XOrg/Mesa
  https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/X11:XOrg/xf86-video-nouveau

Testing the latest versions is a prerequisite in order to inform nouveau's
upstream developers of any bugs you find:

  https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/

Once you are aware of an upstream fix for your issue, please reopen the bug and
let us know.
We will be happy to include it in your openSUSE distribution if it's
technically feasible.


Alternatively, you can install NVIDIA's proprietary driver instead:
