If you don't need the 3d acceleration, just remove nouveau_dri.so. You still get the X-based acceleration (via xf86-video-nouveau, not the GL-based modesetting driver), but no OpenGL. This gets you a fairly rock-solid experience. Unfortunately software whose name starts with the letters G and K has come to depend on OpenGL for even the most basic tasks without much care about driver support for this in the past couple of years. I generally avoid those, and do just fine. (While I do run GL-using applications on occasion, I don't do it all the time, or many of them.) While your offer for $100 is well-meaning and appreciated, the reality is that the capable developers either work for free in their spare time (at which point accepting $100 is probably more trouble than it's worth), or need stable full-time jobs (so a lot more 0's are needed on that offer). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
