Project name?[edit]

Is it Nouveau or nouveau? They don't seem to know themselves, pretty funny. I sure hope that doesn't reflect the quality of the rest of the project... --88.148.208.54 (talk) 18:40, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The project is fine. I use the drivers and they perform incredibly well for both 2D and 3D. Stilroc (talk) 07:11, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

nouveau on the Tegra is not "100% open-source"[edit]

nouveau on the Tegra needs external firmware to work, and that firmware is non-free: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/WHENCE?id=a4bbc8112cc04fcc0e0861e8b72197b6cb83ab83#n3126 -- 74.32.245.177 (talk) 18:02, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nvidia FALCON (FAst Logic CONtroller)[edit]

It would be nice to gather some more information on the old Nvidia FALCON (FAst Logic CONtroller) and maybe even the RISC-V based successor. User:ScotXW^t@lk 14:14, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bugs[edit]

@K4rolB: you sure about your removal of the "Bugs" section....? Ok maybe there was too much info on how to fix the bug, but this is a famous bug affecting many systems; so how about keeping the section but we can remove all the info about how to fix the bug which is more "guide" stuff (WP:NOTGUIDE) ? -- Blue.painting (talk) 12:54, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

TBH, I see more problems with this section. The only reference was ask Ubuntu, which is user generated and therefore, not a valid source. If the bug is well-known and current then I will agree to keep the section with guide stuff removed as long as some reliable source is found.
Also, I'm sorry I removed the whole section as soon as you improved it. I just think that, as it is right now, it doesn't belong to Wikipedia. – K4rolB (talk) 14:53, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I mean you're right; I see your point... Thanks for the reply. And perhaps saying it's a major bug is not accurate in the end I guess tbh :) Cheers, --Blue.painting (talk) 20:17, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
