    Hmm hmm, it wasn't supposed to be advertised yet....

    ... but it shouldn't really matter anyway.

    Next time, I'll put a red sign saying "DO NOT TALK ABOUT THIS YET".

    If you are interested in knowing when the final version comes out, please monitor nouveau's mailing list.

      The code to this micro-controller compiler for NVIDIA's newest GPUs will be published soon.
      Just wanted to add, "Soon" = will take months. Sorry about that.

        It might be sinful to add that casual nvidia card owner can help in progress by testing his card. For more info look at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TestersWanted

          I guess when I get my new laptop (460m), I'll pop into your IRC channel and you can tell me what to do...
          This is like Chinese to me:
          GitHub is where people build software. More than 100 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.


          More important, you talk about vbios updates... is there something I could break on the card doing this stuff?
