:D "GPL'ed" = headspace for ambivalent interpretations :p.
Serious, nouveau is marked as experimental, hence it isn't the time to
drop the FLOSS nv driver.
FWIW, I don't offend the GPL until now:
[spinymouse@archlinux ~]$ cat /etc/rc.d/69switch_xorg.conf
#! /bin/sh
# /etc/rcS.d/Switch_xorg_conf
rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
case $(uname -r) in
*rt*)
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf
;;
*)
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia /etc/X11/xorg.conf
;;
esac
I dropped my Debian install, but I guess my Ubuntu Studio Oneiric and
the planned openDAW (IOW a new Debian) install might offend the GPL
during this weekend. The cause is nouveau "so I won't remove the
cause.../ [chuckles] neither the symptom" - based loosely on Frank N.
