Apparently it lacks nouveau code compared to rt29. Luckily a maintainer of a multimedia distro picked this up and fixed this issue by reintegrating the missing nouveau code from rt29 into rt30. He's preparing a rt31 kernel so hopefully he manages to pull this off again. Thanks for the offer though, but I prefer using the nouveau driver. Best, Jeremy
