But still borked. I have a couple of motherboards here, one new in my

desktop PC, with NVidia graphics. The Nouveau driver doesn't support the

old NVidia hardware, and Debian Sid no longer includes the NV driver

that DOES work with old hardware. The Nouveau driver barely supports the

NVidia in my newest motherboard.
Sorry, I don't consider the Nouveau driver ready for primetime, they

should still supply and continue developing the NV driver, or give up

the attempt at idealism and include the NVidia binary drivers.
