Ah, I see.  Then Rick has some other problem, thanks for the correction.

I've read that too, but isn't the 6100 an IGP and rather different from
the 6200?

In any case, more feedback on nouveau would be welcome.  We've got a few
positive answers when the package was uploaded in March, but since then
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.
