[SOLVED] install Nouveau without 3D

Simple question (with hopefully a simple answer.. ;-)):
the wiki explains how to install Nouveau. But i'm getting 3D support with that howto, and I don't want that since it' s not working very well.
So, how do I install Nouveau with just the 2D support?
Thanks in advance!

Re: [SOLVED] install Nouveau without 3D

pacman -S xf86-video-nouveau

That's the only package you need. Not sure why the wiki has been changed to include the experimental package, but it didn't used to be there! I'd better put some extra information there.

edit: ok, fixed the wiki page now

Just edit the title of your first post.
