I was playing with nouveau from git on fedora yesterday [1] and resorted to installing libdrm from git, compiling a custom kernel with a new drm hacked in, compiling ddx, and then trying to compile mesa. It works, but it's not something that's particularly easy to test nor backport. When drm syncs with the kernel (hopefully soon) it will be very easy to add the nouveau stuff into the fedora rawhide kernel once again. Richard. [1] http://hughsient.livejournal.com/29989.html
