slackware 14.1 from current tree 10/23 - kernel 3.10.17 bug (nouveau)
hi, I tested an home made iso from the current slackware tree. when I booted from the dvd there was no framebuffer console. Then I installed lilo and got nouveau and errors from the dmesg command. Now that I compiled the 3.4.67 kernel all is fine. The 3d grafik is now faster (KDE) and there is no nouveau boot errors. I will go back to slackware 14.0 and give you some log files later. Im ready to test 14.1 agin before its released. Have a nice day!! Happy Haloween!!!
KDE doesn't feel slow with the 3.10.17 kernel anymore. But the error messages are still there. But the main problem is that I don't get nouveau to sett up the frame buffer console when using the live intsall iso as a boot loader, (boot into the localy installed system from usb)

I have no clue.
Still you can use kernel 3.4.6n on Slackware-14.1 as you know, a config file for it being provided in /testing. As kernel version is somehow frozen for 14.1 now and if you suspect a regression in nouveau support, I'd suggest you investigate further with help of this page and possibly file a bug.
