Hi Benjamin, The canonical bug tracker for X.Org X11 is the "xorg" component in freedesktop.org bugzilla, located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org It isn't yet clear who is the official "nv" driver maintainer anymore upstream, but the best place to file bug reports related to the "nv" driver is in a central location, which the official X.Org bugzilla is probably the best currently. While it is true this is an open source driver in a sense, in practice, it really isn't very open source, because the driver source is heavily obfuscated. It uses hexadecimal I/O addresses and values rather than symbolic register names and values, thus making it next to impossible for anyone outside of Nvidia to make meaningful modifications to the driver. ;o( Hopefully Nvidia is still planning on maintaining and updating the "nv" driver for the future, and will track bugs in the X.Org bugzilla. Please paste the URL here if you file a report in freedesktop bugzilla, and I'll track the issue there also. Thanks for the report. Status update: Doing an upstream bug scan/update, and this bug report does not have an associated upstream bug report to track. Our Fedora development contains a new release of xorg-x11 which may resolve this issue, but requires testing by the original reporter. If the problem still exists in rawhide xorg-x11, whoever is still experiencing this issue can file a bug report in X.Org bugzilla as mentioned in comment #1 above, and we will track the issue in the upstream bugzilla. Setting status of bug to "MODIFIED" pending testing of rawhide xorg-x11 by reporter. Note to QA: Please change bug status to "RAWHIDE" when Fedora Core 3 ships, unless there are additional comments present indicating the problem still exists. |
