I'd give my +1 to this, for all the reasons given in the description. This is still considered an experimental driver, and not one we yet recommend for users to use, however it likewise is an extremely important driver in the mid/long term, since it's the only true FOSS driver we have for this hardware (-nv, our current default, is an obfuscated driver maintained mainly only by nVidia with limited contributions from community members).
One thing I'd add though, is that care needs to be taken to ensure all the bits (kernel, libdrm, driver) are updated in sync so they continue to work together. For ordinary bug fixes this shouldn't be an issue, but if we rev versions we need to be certain that the API stays sane. >From what I've observed to date with -nouveau, Chris Halse Rogers seems well on top of this issue and I would entrust him to make correct decisions here (more than I'd trust myself anyway.) Thus, I agree to this feature freeze exception as long as updates are reviewed/approved by Chris first. -- Standing FF exception for nouveau-kernel-source, xserver-xorg-video-nouveau https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
