To clarify: All hope is not lost for nouveau. Nouveau works and it works fine with Mir in general. And mostly fine with Unity8 too. Nouveau is only unusable with Xmir in the default DRI mode.
You can avoid that problem however using -sw mode, and you can avoid the resizing issues using -rootless but only after the new xmir with working rootless gets released. Once that happens you've mostly only got general Unity8 bugs to deal with and can then use: Xmir :0 -sw -rootless -flatten So please wait for the new Xmir to be released and let us know how that goes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1499425 Title: [nouveau] xmir black window (mesa 11.0.0) and/or freezing and kernel errors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1499425/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
