Public bug reported:

Hi.

On Ubuntu 13.04, it seems that Weston displays a black screen, and the
screen stays black, due to page flipping issues in the Nouveau driver as
reported here https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75761

It seems that these two patches do apply to 3.13, and fix the pageflip
issues, and it worked on my NV36 card: (One file I had to slightly alter
myself)

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied...5b438629d6858a

I haven't been able to test on newer Nvidia cards because I don't have
any, but I might be hearing back from others that do have newer caard.

Is it possible that these can be officially backported  in Ubuntu 13.04?
