Thanks for the offer, but unfortunately I'm not the right person to answer
about nvclock, nor am I currently working on Nouveau. Therefore I'm
CC'ing the Nouveau list.

Did you have anything specific in mind?
There are the usual renouveau and mmiotrace excercises in the wiki.

Thanks.

Ah, the tv-out, that request was set by Thunderbird, the author of nvclock.
I'm CC'ing him in case he doesn't read the mailing list, hope I got
the email address right. Please, don't drop CC's unless requested.

A nice way to contribute is to use Nouveau, update weekly, and report any
possible regressions or bugs in 2D-features. And keep an eye on the wiki
RecentChanges in case someone puts up a help request.


Thanks.
