Nouveau - Jul 2007 - Does Nouveau break the nVidia drivers?

Dear developers

I would like to submit dumps, but I spend ~4 hours last time on
installing the nVidia drivers, and ended up with the livna.org RPM's.

So can I install the Nouveau driver without damaging the nVidia drivers?

I am using Fedora 7 and integrated NVIDIA GeForce 6150. That's the C51
core, right?

Hugs,
Louise

I'm not a nouveau developer, but I'm a Fedora user and I've tried
this.

Yes you can have the nVidia binary drivers and nouveau at the same time, 
as long as you use the livna packages:

What does he mean by "setting the dri permissions"?

"do the usual changes to xorg.conf file, like changing the driver,
loading glx and dri and setting the dri permissions."
