I had serious kernel problems with the nouveau. It even launched some 
kernel oops GUI and sent it off somewhere for analysis after changing 
back to the vesa driver. I don't know what program it is but hopefully 
the information is useful in order to debug the nouveau errors related 
to the kernel.
nv does not work at all. I have not tried the binary nvidia driver 
version since it was changed to work with rawhide.
