Hiya,

I have started a page aimed to be an introduction to working with
(Nouveau) graphics from the driver side. I do not know what I am
missing and what is relevant, so I'd like to have comments or people
could improve the page themselves.

http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/IntroductoryCourse

This is by no means supposed to a replacement for the long-waited
Nouveau driver crash course, but more of a prerequisite.
