This is the second release candidate since the closing of the Linux 2.6.33 kernel merge window, that brought the long-awaited Nouveau driver, many other graphics improvements, and other exciting changes.The holiday 2.6.33-rc2 release announcement from Linus Torvalds can be read at LKML.org...

    Am I looking in the wrong place?

    Hi guys.
    I have downloaded "Linux Kernel v2.6.33-rc2"
    I see no "Nouveau" anywhere in kernel
    Device drivers -> Graphics support ->
    Direct Rendering Manager (CONFIG_DRM) (checked)
    there is no option Nouveau (CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU)
    Whats the story there?
    Thanks.
    Where relevant - happy xmass(otherwise, guys, 1 more day left )

      They are in Device drivers --> Staging drivers, as have just arrived to kernel and need a good testing. You may need to un-tick option Exclude Staging drivers from being built first in order to be able to compile them.

            Linux 2 6 33 rc2 Kernel Released

            Hi,

            I recently enabled the CentOS extras repository and there is a kernel upgrade available. Since Virtuozzo utilizes a shared kernel, what impact will allowing this upgrade have?
