In any case, more feedback on nouveau would be welcome. We've got a few

all we received are a dozen of more or less serious bugs reports.
That's probably not so many actually, but sometimes I still wonder if
nouveau works for any Debian user except myself.
I've tried nouveau a while back. It works, but I hit #590549, actually
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23705
Needless to say my laptop (1680x1050, 129x127 dpi) is unusable at 96
dpi, and no, I'm not going to change all font sizes, they are just fine
if the dpi is correct.

In the spirit merely of providing some "feedback on noveau" I would like
to say that I am generally very pleased with it. It works well on my
spouse's Sony video workstation with an old Nvidia card and on my Dell
Latitude D810 with a somewhat younger Nvidia graphics "workstation"
card. The transition from nv was marred slightly by the nouveau driver
refusing to use the DVI output from the Dell laptop's port replicator
when it is docked, forcing me to use the VGA connector instead when
docked and using the 1680x1050 "external" LCD. Both 1920x1200 and
1680x1050 are supported perfectly.
I would rate the function of the nouveau driver above that of the binary
blob performance I experienced -- for my purposes. Even desktop
compositing in Debian/testing/Xfce works better (more reliably and
quicker) than it did with the binary blob driver or the nv driver under
Ubuntu or Mint. My hardware is kind of weirdsville, so I'm not sure
whether or not my experience could be considered "typical".

GS
