Nouveau Companion 24

Written by Michael Larabel in Nouveau on 25 July 2007 at 09:39 AM EDT. Add A Comment

Another Nouveau Companion has been written to update the status of the open-source NVIDIA display driver. Changes were pushed in the DRM and DDX for the nv50-branch to offer preliminary GeForce 8 open-source support, X-Video DMA work was accomplished, oprofiling tests completed, and branch changes. The nv50-branch has been merged into the Nouveau randr-1.2 branch, which is the new location that GeForce 8 owners will want to go for code. The Nouveau team still needs help with GeForce 8 testing. The 24th edition of the Nouveau Companion can be read, as always, on FreeDesktop.org.
