[arch-general] Is Nouveau 2D or 3D acceleration driver for nVidia cards?

2012-08-28 Thread Kelvin
The description of package xf86-video-nouveau (
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/xf86-video-nouveau) is Open
Source 2D acceleration driver for nVidia cards, but Arch Wiki(
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau) says that it is Open Source
3D acceleration graphics driver for NVIDIA cards. Is there any mistakes?

 Both. afiak it started out as a 2d driver, but these days it also has
 [limited] 3d acceleration.

Thanks. I found this page after I have posted this.

The support is really very limited.


Re: [arch-general] SystemD poll

2012-08-19 Thread Kelvin
I agree with you. Using systemd to be the default or not is a very
disputable issue. Many people like me do not like it, but some people think
that it is the trend and so accept it. A poll is the best way to solve this
problem.

 I think a poll is a good idea.
 Remember it's not about whether or not you're allowed to use
 initscripts/systemd, it's about what will become the default.
 Sure, in the end it's the devs who get the final call, they're putting
 in the work after all, but a poll can show whether the community
 agrees with the devs decision.
 Looking at the poll (and discussions) now, it seems that people are
 generally in agreement with the developers and so I say we go ahead
 with it.
 Yes, there are also technical reasons/strong arguments for systemd,
 but that's beside the point.
 As Denis said: the man with the will and skills to help makes the
 rules, whether it's a good or a bad decision it's up to them.
 You're not entitled to anything but an opinion.

 And I'd like to remind those that feel strongly against systemd that
 you can still run initscripts and make a package for it, submit
 patches etc.
 You just have to be careful on a clean install that you tick-off
 systemd and tick-on initscripts.
