(d) is no longer an issue it seems, I've been running in this configuration for weeks now and the two issues that used to appear no longer do. I'm not entirely sure it was our bug, and not just glamor doing something inappropriate. Personally, I'm all for using -modesetting on >=G80 and no longer plan on maintaining -nouveau beyond bug fixes. So, new hardware, and MST support will require -modesetting unless someone else does the work.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
