--- Comment #3 from Maarten Maathuis <[email protected]> 2009-01-18 14:37:13 PST --- radeonhd was a driver born out of some corporate agreement, and there probably was a requirement was that it ran without a kernel module (this all imo). nouveau was born for very different reasons, and doing a full driver does require a kernel module. So to avoid all sorts of nasty special code paths (which are bothersome to maintain and potentially buggy) the project leader decided to require a kernel module. This has been the case from day 1 as far as i know. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
