Nouveau Very Close To Release?

Back in Nouveau Companion 30, we found out the Nouveau developers are getting very close to their first stable release. This first Nouveau driver release will include 2D, X-Video, and EXA acceleration across all NVIDIA graphics cards from the NV05 to NV4x. Recently there has been quite a number of commits to the xf86-video-nouveau git tree, which could be one last development hoorah before the first release.

Among the many commits to the Nouveau driver, some of the notable include implementing a nouveau_device struct, hooking up of some DMA functions, initial buffer object work, initial relocation work, EXA 1.4 pixmap hooks (but disable), enabling IFC uploads, and quite a bit of continuing work with RandR 1.2 support.

Once there is anything new to report on this open-source NVIDIA driver we will be sure to pass it on, and of course the Nouveau Companion 31.
