32 The Mesa drivers wiki page above says:
33
34 nv50 and nvc0
35
36 Make sure you are using at least Mesa 7.11, but please consider using
37 latest stable release. You have to use at least the 2.6.38 kernel or
38 you will encounter memory corruptions. For nvc0 hardware it's
39 recommended to use at least kernel 3.1.
40
41 Bug reports for nv50 and nvc0 can be submitted by following the
42 general reporting guidelines. Please, also follow the About bugs and
43 problems section above.
44
45 What version is your media-libs/mesa?
46
47 Is this the first time you've run into this trouble using the nouveau driver?
48 What driver did you use before with this piece of hardware proprietary
49 nvidia one, or nouveau?
