Yep. And FWIW there were users of pgraph firmware loading with the old paths too :( For some users, the blob pgraph fw is stable while nouveau one isn't. But hopefully not that many, I think VDPAU has a lot more. VDPAU is currently supported through Kepler. -ilia _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
