That did help in users providing feedback when they turn it on manually. It fits our mission of progressing Free software. This is a important project. Anything that we can do to help is worth the effort.
Because it's almost completely useless at this stage. It is only needed for developers, and I just don't think it should be iin a "stable" release of an OS for a handfull of people who use it for development purposes. Nouveau is a pretty high profile project and just about everyone with an nVidia card is going to want to try it, and I suspect most of them will be pretty disappointed after their system gets messed up. I think at a _minimum_ Nouveau should be atleast as good as the nv driver before including it, otherwise I see no point. -Xul"Tired of repeating the same thing over and over and over again to unfortunate n00bs on IRC asking how to fix their system after installing Nouveau"Chris -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
