I'm jumping into this Thread because of graphic drivers considerations :
- Could it be possible to backport patches from nouveau/linux kernel tree that enables open firmware ? Currently the lack of firmware make fermi unable to accelerate anything ; dumping firmware from nvidia blob is not something easy even for advanced user... The patch to backport is this one : http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6/commit/?id=1a679765205cd5c9211...
The nouveau developers need to push their code to the main kernel.org tree for us to be able to even start to consider it.
- Ivi bridge is scheluded for late 2011/ start 2012, meaning that users with this generation of hardware will have to wait for openSUSE 12.2. Maybe a backport from linux 3.1 would make things easier for end users here too.
Or they could use Tumbleweed :) Let's wait to see what 3.1 looks like, and when Ivy Bridge actually ships. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
