I briefly tested nouveau after update to 13.1 and it was mostly OK (I have once some artifacts on title bar and scrolling was not quite pleasant); the main issue to me was (lack of) performance and thermal management. If this really became better in 3.13 - something to test during next update :)
I installed oC 13.1 and the nouveau driver on an older Dell laptop (that worked with 12.3) and had to turn off desktop effects. Otherwise, the contents of windows was not rendered unless you moved a mouse around in the window. And that was incomplete rendering. Some components did not render at all...
I got a similar problem with a Compaq laptop with the Nvidia Go 7150 video chip, and they wass impossible to read a text on the screen using the nouveau driver, and for this chip, they are only legacy drivers, which are impossible to install on opensuse 13.1 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
