You didn't get the idea. That commit (ab7291d368ddc66ad21c5ad5caa0faeee42ccaf1) works absolutely perfectly on my side, with full 2D and 3D acceleration, w/o any gotchas, w/o any artifacts, etc. But if it is build from "vanilla" git, w/o any 02-drm-nouveau-newabi.patch you mentioned. Works absolutely fine, as it was for a long time when I used debian's packages for this and before I met "no text, no icons..." issue. > Won't happen in Wheezy, 8.1 release is still months away and Debian is > frozen already.

Known to be broken? Then why I haven't any response to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=679127 in ~2 weeks? > Try disabling AIGLX (see xorg.conf(5)), or, if that does not help, > enforce software rendering, e.g. with > > # echo LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 >> /etc/environment Well, it shall be the first step if anybody will get "no text, no icons...". And as I already said, it can also be done via ``nouveau.noaccel=1'' in kernel arg's line. >> Can you just build it correctly, at least?.. > > What do you mean by that? Well, can you just deny that "preventing-linking-with" patch for at least for PowerPC? P.S.: that Nouveau's dev also told me a lot about smth called "DDX" and that it is the actual issue.
