I tried out nouveau recently as I was experiencing "tearing" of the portions of the screen when scrolling firefox with a window partially on top of firefox and was hoping it was the driver. Unfortunately nouveau has the same problem.
<rant>The spanning desktops were also driving me crazy. I put my virtual machine on the second monitor (to the left and full screen), then try opening firefox. It invariably opens *under* the virtual machine, completely hidden. This alone is enough to drive be back to the nvidia proprietary driver, in all it's glorified ugliness. I do hope some developer can take pity on me and address this shortcoming.

What happens when I upgrade to F13 ?The short answer is that you may have to boot in vesafb mode and install the driver using that. If that doesn't work booting in run level three and upgrading your driver from CLI.That's what I used to do, and it worked fine. These days nouveau works so well that I don't bother with the proprietary driver. Andrew.
