   	I have an old (but still very functional) PC that comes with a   
   built-in graphics device from Nvidia. This device is quite old, which   
   implies that the closed-source Nvidia driver are not compatible with the   
   kernel in 15.0. I therefore had to use the nouveau driver.   
      
   	Since it is such an old Nvidia device (C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce   
   630a]) I thought that the nouveau people would have had the time to iron   
   out the kinks for it in the nouveau code. That does not seem the case.   
   Things that used to work before I upgraded from 14.2 (under which I could   
   use the Nvidia driver) to 15.0 (under which I must use nouveau) just   
   don't - e.g. glxgears and the 3D hacks from xscreensaver segfault, Google-   
   Earth launches but it is all messed up (it displays lots of colors and   
   nonsensical shapes) and, most seriously chromium does not work (in a way   
   similar to that described for Google-Earth).   
      
   	Anybody know whether this is a shortcoming in the nouveau driver   
   itself, which may, or may not, be sorted out in some indefinite future,   
   or is it the case that the nouveau/X configuration can be tinkered with,   
   so that chromium will work with nouveau? Obviously, I will be getting a   
   new PC, but I would be interested in answers to those questions anyway.
