from Marc Burkhardt
Hi Ilia,
by offering a $100 for this the intention was to just get this thing sorted=
out
from the nouveau guys _prior_ to any "my game X still doesn't work with
nouveau" bug. I don't want to lean out toooo far out of the window, bu=
t I think
this actually is a gregression, too. Not just a bug. Nevertheless, I know
developers earn much more than that, I'm a developer myself.
I cannot share your expression "The best way to get a good experience =
is to
avoid doing things which break nouveau". What experience is this if yo=
u use a
product that you know has a bug and you try to avoid it? Someday you change=
the
product. But I do not want this. I want the bug to be sorted out, offering =
my
spare time, some bucks for you to have a night out and nothing more.
I use enlightenment desktop on top of modesetting driver with
"nouveau.noaccel=3D0 nouveau.nofbaccel=3D1 nouveau.modeset=3D1 nouveau=
.runpm=3D0
nouveau.debug=3Ddisp=3Dtrace,i2c=3Dtrace,bios=3Dtrace nouveau.config=3DNvPm=
ShowAll=3Dtrue"
applied. I see no reason to just _not_ use the features the driver offers. =
And
when they do not work: either fix them or get rid of them.
I'm also absolutely not into heavy 3D, hevay OpenGL or whatever-usage. I ju=
st
use a modern and advanced desktop environment (Enlightenment, git) on recent
"stable" hardware (ThinkPad P50). Not trying to _force_ nouveau t=
o go down.
If your answer really is to "not stress" the driver with a usual =
workload,
avoid stuff "with the letters G and K" or whatever... oh dear. Ca=
nnot imagine
how I start to argue over this for _my_ work with _my_ boss...
