2009-03-26 - Fedora Test Day - Nouveau graphics driver

Greetings testers, Adam Williamson and Ben Skeggs have lined up an exciting Fedora Test Day topic. This Thursday, March 26 will focus on testing the new nouveau graphics driver. If the Intel graphics test day [1] was any indication, this will be a busy event. As outlined in the NouveauAsDefault feature page [2], the nouveau driver will be replacing the previous 'nv' driver for nVidia chipsets. There are several notable improvements including RANDR 1.2 support and accelerated XRENDER support. To determine if you have the required hardware, run the following command: # /sbin/lspci -d 10de: | grep -iq VGA && echo "Join Nouveau Fedora Test Day" So come join #fedora-qa this Thursday, March 26, 2009 to share your Nouveau graphics test results. A Fedora live image will be available to aid testing. Stay tuned for more details are available at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/2009-03-24.
