I have been looking up what chipsets the nouveau driver supports and it seems limited, e.g the GeForce 8600 (G84) and 8800 (G92) are not supported.
From what I read on http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix that's not true, as those are NV50 series chips and those are well-supported in 2D - which is not worse than what we ship by default right now (the old open nv driver), with the difference that KMS is supported and an experimental (or highly experimental) 3D driver does exist.
In the FeatureMatrix I see no mention of those cards and what I posted was from wikipedia which cross referenced cards and codenames and from that deduced that those cards weren't supported to date.
Click on the "NV50" column header link leading to the code names document and look at what is listed in the "NV50 family" section.
Robert Kaiser Thanks, so that's where they were hiding. Regards Sid. P.S:- Apologies for the reply sent direct, I hit reply instead of reply to list. -- Sid Boyce ...
