2584	Linux 2.6.32.8 and Nouveau	willimm	lfs-book@…	"The Fedora project has backported Nouveau to the 2.6.32.8 kernel, in a set of patches available on their CVS. And since Nouveau is free software drivers for Nvidia cards, I think it would be a good idea to backport these patches to 2.6.32.8.

So I've combined all of their Nouveau patches into one (it also adds a new Radeon driver), and it's attached to the ticket. Nouveau is listed as a staging driver, and it's stable enough for general 2D use, but 3D is in progress of making. This is just the first part of adding Nouveau and removing the partly obfuscated and non-3D supporting nv driver, since I'll make a ticket that applies for BLFS later for Nouveau.

The project's home page is here:

http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/

Personally, I'd be extremely happy if Nouveau went into both books, as I'm a Nvidia user myself (I use a GeForce 7300 GS in my desktop, and a GeForce 9100M in my laptop). I'm hoping this goes into 6.6, but I wouldn't care if this was moved to 6.7 or 7.0. I'm going to make a ticket for BLFS for adding the Nouveau 2D/3D driver later."	enhancement	closed	normal	6.6	Book	SVN	normal	invalid
