 I use nouveau - and I cannot at present run 2.6.33 or 2.6.34 wihout
essentially pulling in a lot of X. Tho' according to satisfy linus'
complaint, it looks like on ecould compile the nouveau driver and use
that - however - it sure would be nice if the nouveau folks made it
easier to run both 2.6.32 and also the newer kernels on F12.
