Has anyone used the Nouveau driver?  I tried nv awhile on AMD64, but my 
eForce 8600 GTS 512MB could not even do full screen dvd playback without 
choking(it was dual head but still...).  I don't really need much more 
performance than that, so if anyone has had a good experience please 
share.  I don't really feel like farking w/ xorg.conf for another 2 days.
