In either case, all three should be relatively easy to do, as normally the generation specific code is divided. Not too sure if it's worth the effort though * kernel module - 1.7 MiB, ~400KiB gzip * ddx - ~200KiB * mesa - 6.3 MiB (nouveau/gallium only) As you can see the sizes are not that big, and I'm not sure if the maintainers would be up-to the idea Not a maintainer myself so take the last statement if a healthy pinch of salt :) Cheers Emil > > Live long and prosper, > > Christ-Jan Wijtmans > > > > _______________________________________________ > Nouveau mailing list > Nouveau-PD4FTy7X32lNgt0PjOBp9y5qC8QIuHrW@public.gmane.org > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau >
