Most of whats needed to get this working in a RandR based driver is just not implemented in the server yet. All of the RandR drivers are basically in the same boat, not just Nouveau. Nvidia's RandR support is basically a wrapper around their NVCONTROL extension if I recall correctly, so they can still support it. _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
