Hello all, I'd like to get an idea of how the 'nouveau' driver for Nvidia graphics cards is working on systems used for audio production. I have installed it on a number of systems over the past half year, all of them ArchLinux and using a 'standard' (i.e. non realtime-patched) kernel, 2.6.32 upto 2.6.34, with Xorg 1.7 and 1.8. On some systems 'nouveau' seems to work really well, on some others it produced lots of xruns (using a moderate jack period size of 256) which went away when I replaced 'nouveau' by the older 'nv'. I did not try the proprietary driver from Nvidia, AFAIK it has latency problems as well. Sooner or later 'nv' is going to disappear, and we will only have 'nouveau' or the proprietary driver. I'd want to avoid a situation where no usable Nvidia would be available to users of audio systems. *If* there is a problem with 'nouveau' we should identify it and get in touch with the developers. The first step in this process would be to collect some user feedback. Ciao, -- FA There are three of them, and Alleline. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
