I have pushed one more commit to `feature/tails-plymouth-theme` which
adds the nouveau driver. I have splendidly tested it on a system with
some NVidia adapter.
Initially, I also wanted to add video drivers for virtualization
software. Unfortunately, no drivers happen to support Kernel Mode
Setting at the moment:
* qemu/kvm: Matthew Garrett worked on a modified Cirrus driver
<

but his patch never got merged. KMS support for SPICE/QXL is in
the work according to <
http://spice-space.org/page/DRM>.
* VirtualBox: code is written and it should be shipped in 4.2,
according to <
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTAxOTk>.
* VMWare: Support for KMS is planed according to
<
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2011-May/001122.html>
It looks like things are moving because of Wayland. Good, but a little
annoying at the moment.
