Yes. I filed a nouveau bug report, along with the requested log information, and I was told "to compare nouveau code with the equivalent nv code". So far, I have not even found where to start.
What an advice! For sure only useful for a very experienced X.Org/Kernel graphics driver developer ... And what's the benefit here? Both drivers don't work on this hardware ... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
