Hi, I think it is safe to say, that the drm.git Nouveau kernel modules are now abandoned. The build has been broken for several days. The replacement is the Nouveau kernel tree. I have been updating the instructions in the wiki, so you should get all the information there.
The InstallDRM guide should now be complete, there are even *small* daily snapshots for people who fear 'git clone' ;-) I updated InstallNouveau, but I have not touched any of the special guides for various distributions. I hope the authors or users of those guides will update them as needed. Currently the kernel tree has three branches: - master - newttm-devel - newttm-devel-compat There should also be a master-compat, that comes when someone has the time to create it. Master branch is currently "recommended", but it won't build against anything before 2.6.31-rc1, and that -rc1 was (so I hear) quite buggy. Waiting for -rc2 might be good. Newttm-devel is an older experiment with a kernel tree, but it should still work with 2.6.30. If you have an earlier kernel, you may have to use the newttm-devel-compat branch, which contains compatibility patches to build against 2.6.28 - 2.6.30. These won't build with 2.6.31-rc1 or later. Newttm-devel branches are being phased out, and in the future master branch is *the* branch. Or master-compat, if you have an older kernel and need a compatibility patched version. Is Nouveau going into mainline soon? Not soon, but I can only guess. Most likely Nouveau will go into staging first, which means it doesn't have to have a completely frozen user ABI, but there has to be "a plan to get out of staging". Thanks to Ben (darktama) for the Nouveau kernel tree. -- Pekka Paalanen http://www.iki.fi/pq/ _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
