[Nouveau] nouveau X nvidia

[Daniel Melo Jorge da Cunha]

I'm sorry for my ignorance but I must ask. When you wrote:
"The nouveau driver's GL implementation is going to be rather
 different from NVIDIA's in many..."

Do you mean that valgrind-mmt will output differently in nouveau
drivers'GL and NVIDIA's driver?

Again, thanks for any help.
