    drm/nouveau: Add DRM driver for NVIDIA GPUs
    
    This adds a drm/kms staging non-API stable driver for GPUs from NVIDIA.
    
    This driver is a KMS-based driver and requires a compatible nouveau
    userspace libdrm and nouveau X.org driver.
    
    This driver requires firmware files not available in this kernel tree,
    interested parties can find them via the nouveau project git archive.
    
    This driver is reverse engineered, and is in no way supported by nVidia.
    
    Support for nearly the complete range of nvidia hw from nv04->g80 (nv50)
    is available, and the kms driver should support driving nearly all
    output types (displayport is under development still) along with supporting
    suspend/resume.
    
    This work is all from the upstream nouveau project found at
    nouveau.freedesktop.org.
    
    The original authors list from nouveau git tree is:
    Anssi Hannula <anssi.hannula@iki.fi>
    Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@redhat.com>
    Francisco Jerez <currojerez@riseup.net>

Any reason for the French title of this thread?

Didier Spaier · 12-18-2009, 05:10 PM

Many reasons:
1) Why not? It's about time for people who don't speak French (yet) to learn.
2) A wink to the (French) names of the driver and of project founder Stephane Marchesin (should be written Stéphane Marchesin, BTW).
3) Other reasons I would need to try harder to find.
4) Reasons neither you nor me can even think of

Good point! (since I already speak French fluently and Dutch, Spanish, German, a bit of English and Catalan) :showoff: let's stick to Linux and avoid Babylonian discussions.

Kind regards,

Eric

Why not learn both?

I haven't really been following the nouveau project. Does this driver offer 3D acceleration?

Not yet.
