The nVidia thing comes up every release. Eventually I'm sure nVidia
will update their driver and then the upgrade path for users
choosing to use that driver will be an option. Waiting a few more weeks
for that to happen is not the end of the world.
... and if people would spend as much time helping out with nouveau[1]
as they've spent complaining on this thread, we'd be that much closer to
a real, sustainable solution to fully supporting nVidia's hardware as
opposed to having this discussion every release. Seriously. The
nouveau guys are making *real* progress. Even just trying out nouveau
and providing feedback is helpful to them. Also, they have a list of
things which need testing[2] as well as a list of cards which they could
use some dump information from[3].
