Nouveau Driver Issue

Today I tried installing the Nouveau open-source NVIDIA driver with "pacman -Sy nouveau-drm xf86-video-nouveau" and got the following error:

cannot resolve "nouveau-drm>=20090612", a dependency of "xf86-video-nouveau"

The current nouveau-drm version is 0.0.15_20090908-1 yet xf86-video-nouveau does not recognise this as newer than 20090612.

Re: Nouveau Driver Issue

This seems to be a versioning issue. put it up on the bug tracker. I just tested it, and got the same result.

Try using abs to compile it and just change the version numbering to just the date portion of the sequence.

The dependency on nouveau-drm looks fine here.
Are you on x86 64 and the package is not up-to-date there or what ?

Re: Nouveau Driver Issue

While I'm not the OP, I see this on x86_64, with up-to-date DBs. Something is not right.
