You may want to check Linus' issues with nouveau in the newer kernels on linux-kernel ML - as alluded to earlier in thread. Just plopping the kernel onto f12 with nouveau may well not work (coz of ABI changes in nouvouch) - certainly for me neither .33 not .34 from fc13 and rawhide respectively work - however if you try and pull the new nouvouh driver it needs then it also needs a new xorg server and drm and ... so its a slippery slope. Now Dave Airlie gave linus a source for nouvea driver which will run on f12 without pulling in all the other stuff ... i think. Anyway if you find a clean way to try newer kernels (which I need coz of some nasty iwlagn bugs) so I can confirm they are fixed in kernels >= 2.6.33 .. please let me know. gene -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
