With the
Nouveau driver earning itself some new attention now that its DRM code has been
pulled into the Linux 2.6.33 kernel, there is another important milestone worth sharing. The Nouveau driver now has TV-Out working and being considered "done" for the NV30 class GPUs (the GeForce 5 / FX series) and is mostly done for NV40 GPUs (the GeForce 6 series). The TV output support for the earlier GPUs and also the newer GPUs is still considered a work in progress.
This TV-Out status update for this open-source NVIDIA graphics driver was made on their
Wiki Feature Matrix, which also shows the status of other driver features for the different NVIDIA ASICs.
