Try 2.6.35, it was apparently a bit more stable on older NVidia cards. FWIW, I have nouveau working on my ppc machine. It fails on all sorts of x86 and amd64, which the majority of the nouveau devs are running. Maybe also ask on #nouveau on freenode. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
