There is no "the" nouveau driver. There is: 1-nouveau kernel device driver (module), which ships with each kernel. 2-nouveau DDX display driver for X, upstream provided by xf86-video-nouveau, provided in Debian by xserver-xorg-video-nouveau. #2 is reverse-engineered, and optional. The upstream default display driver, modesetting DIX, is not reverse-engineered, is newer technology, like the nouveau DDX depends on the nouveau kernel driver, is FOSS, and is the display driver I use on all of my NVidia GPUs. Ordinary users don't all need the edge-case capabilities that FOSS doesn't support. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
