The release of source code for NVIDIA
graphics hardware was perhaps something of a surprise; at least at a quick
glance, it seems
like that could lead to an in-tree, officially supported driver. For many
years, though, the nouveau
project has been working on an upstream driver for NVIDIA hardware, so an
obvious question is what happens with nouveau in light of the NVIDIA
announcement. Kernel graphics maintainer Dave Airlie gave a talk at the
2022 Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC) to
help shed some light on that subject.
