Nouveau Companion 23

Posted by Michael Larabel on July 08, 2007

The 23rd edition of the Nouveau Companion has been posted online. Covered in this edition is the Nouveau: Where It Stands Today article from us, some NV1x code fixes, NV4x implementing the EXA functions via the 3D engine, X-Video working for AGP with DMA, and a few new RandR 1.2 patches. With the NV4x GPUs implementing the EXA functions via the 3D engine, this should eliminate a number of bugs as well as offering a speed boost to this open-source NVIDIA driver. Nouveau Companion 23 can be read over on their FreeDesktop Wiki.
