<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Anssi Hannula at 05/12/11 06:09 did gyre and gimble:
><i> Hi!
</I>><i>
</I>><i> 1. nouveau
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I propose to move nouveau DRI drivers from libdri-drivers-experimental
</I>><i> to libdri-drivers.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Fedora moved them out of -experimental in last January, Ubuntu in last
</I>><i> June, OpenSUSE in July (though OpenSUSE doesn't have the legacy
</I>><i> nouveau_vieux DRI driver at all), and Debian a week ago.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I've been running with it for the last week or so with no problems on my
</I>><i> card.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> WDYT?
</I>
Seems sensible. I've not got any NV h/w but this seems like the Right
Thing to Do(tm).
><i> 2. swrastg
</I>><i>
</I>><i> It seems we have both swrast_dri.so and swrastg_dri.so in libdri-drivers
</I>><i> package.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> swrast_dri.so is the traditional SW rasterizer used when there is no HW
</I>><i> support.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> swrastg_dri.so is the Gallium3d-based rasterizer which is considerably
</I>><i> faster.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> However, actually only swrast_dri.so is used, so should we:
</I>><i> 1) switch to swrastg, drop swrast (Fedora in Nov 2010)
</I>><i> 2) keep it as is, unused (~4 MB)
</I>><i> 3) move swrastg to libdri-drivers-experimental (Ubuntu in Jun 2010,
</I>><i> Debian a week ago) which nouveau is probably moving out of
</I>><i> 4) drop swrastg completely for now (seemingly OpenSUSE)
</I>
On balance, I ultimately prefer 3 with your xserver patch, Either that or 1.
