[Nouveau] About nVidia 8600M GS (10de:0425 (rev a1))

[Julien PUYDT]

Hi,

I compiled drm & xf86-video-nouveau to test nouveau yesterday -- the X 
server couldn't start. Today, Telek pointed me to 
drm/linux-core/drm_pciids.h, where I added my card. This made nouveau 
detect my card, and the xerver started successfully.

I didn't test further -- for example I didn't compile the mesa nouveau 
code to enable 3D.

So what should I test ?

PS1: nvidia-glx isn't abi-compatible with my xserver, so I can't provide 
renouveau dumps at the moment.

PS2: the patch to make my card detected.

PS3: I had to copy my modified file in drm_pciids.h.orig and remove my 
line to make the patch because git didn't see I had changed something... 
if someone knows why, that would help!
