Note that these drivers are INCOMPLETE, and are only really useful for testing at this point. People needing a stable driver should use the "nv" driver instead. Although the upstream nouveau drivers provide some 3D support, these packages do not include the necessary files. Users requiring 3D support should use the non-free "nvidia" driver. . This package is built from the FreeDesktop.org xf86-video-nouveau driver. . Users wishing to install these drivers should first use module-assistant to build the drm kernel modules (via ``module-assistant auto-install drm'').
