The kernels nouveau support does advance, but the X support does not. As I said less than 24 hours ago in another profanity laden post, I cannot run a new kernel on this wheezy install because the wheezy X is too old, and the miss-match between the X nouveau support and the kernels nouveau support is a display speed (freezing for 30 seconds at a time while the sound is stuttering 1/4 second on, 1/4 second off) killer, while the video when it does restart, runs at 20K frames a sec to catch up. So I am stuck with a 3.4-9amd64 kernel as the newest I can run and have a fighting chance of watching a news video from one of the mainsleaze sites. So I am waiting until Ubuntu 15.04.2 LTS or so, when the guys at linuxcnc might put together a distro I can use WITH more than 2G of memory. The 8g that isn't recognized in this machine, running a 32 bit non-pae kernel, puts me a gigabyte into swap in 24 hours, and we all know how fast that runs.
