OK, I built vesa, fbdev, and nv. I'm going to hold off nouveau for now. The problem is that if I use nouveau, I need to rebuild the kernel if I want to go to the proprietary drivers. IIRC, that's not needed for nv. That said, I see you have the nouveau ticket. I have a NV37GL [Quadro PCI-E Series] so I can test that new driver if you want. I don't know when the Mesa 8.1 package will be released though. Development seems to have slowed down. There were releases in Feb, March, May, and July but nothing since. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
