# video-nouveau/cfg - "Build" settings for package
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
[technotes]
1. The source tarball used by this package was created based on "git"
upstream sources. The sources were obtained as follows:
ocgitfetch --run nouveau \
http://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Nouveau has numerous requirements. Here's a list under construc-
tion:
Recommended kernel settings:
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=m # "fbcon" module
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=m # "nouveau" module
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU_BACKLIGHT=y
CONFIG_STAGING=y
CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING=y
Add NVidia and/or Vesa framebuffer drivers. The official documentation
seems to discourage this but it may be necessary to keep the screen
from going black and staying that way.
Don't make "fbcon" built-in or "modprobe" it immediately after boot.
This may result in a screen with tiny text that can't be enlarged.
Build the kernel. Boot it. Update the userland kernel header files
appropriately.
Possibly rebuild the version of "glibc" that you're using.
Start with a set of XOrg "git" trees. Not every "git" set will work.
However, we had luck with XOrg "git" sets from August through Decem-
ber 2011.
Build "libpciaccess".
Build "libdrm" with Noveau support.
Build XOrg, including Mesa. When configuring Mesa, use the following
switches:
(This part needs to be redone)
If NVidia hardware is present, add a standard driver block to "/etc/
xorg.conf" that selects the "nouveau" driver. Otherwise, remove the
driver block or modify it appropriately. Note: The official documenta-
tion implies that these conventions aren't necessary. However, "kms-
start" expects them, and they may help to avoid other problems.
Modify "startx" so that "startx" runs "kms-start" immediately before
"xinit".
