Hi Ilia,

by offering a $100 for this the intention was to just get this thing sorted out
from the nouveau guys _prior_ to any "my game X still doesn't work with
nouveau" bug. I don't want to lean out toooo far out of the window, but I think
this actually is a gregression, too. Not just a bug. Nevertheless, I know
developers earn much more than that, I'm a developer myself.

I cannot share your expression "The best way to get a good experience is to
avoid doing things which break nouveau". What experience is this if you use a
product that you know has a bug and you try to avoid it? Someday you change the
product. But I do not want this. I want the bug to be sorted out, offering my
spare time, some bucks for you to have a night out and nothing more.

I use enlightenment desktop on top of modesetting driver with
"nouveau.noaccel=0 nouveau.nofbaccel=1 nouveau.modeset=1 nouveau.runpm=0
nouveau.debug=disp=trace,i2c=trace,bios=trace nouveau.config=NvPmShowAll=true"
applied. I see no reason to just _not_ use the features the driver offers. And
when they do not work: either fix them or get rid of them.

I'm also absolutely not into heavy 3D, hevay OpenGL or whatever-usage. I just
use a modern and advanced desktop environment (Enlightenment, git) on recent
"stable" hardware (ThinkPad P50). Not trying to _force_ nouveau to go down.

If your answer really is to "not stress" the driver with a usual workload,
avoid stuff "with the letters G and K" or whatever... oh dear. Cannot imagine
how I start to argue over this for _my_ work with _my_ boss...
