It looks like some updates just hit, so I now have xf86-video-nouveau = 0.0.10_git20091221-1 and nouveau-drm 0.0.15_20091220-1 with kernel26 = 2.6.32.2-2 and xorg-server 1.7.3.902-1.

(dmesg is just under 500 lines = and Xorg log is just under 400.) I don't have much of an xorg.conf, but even with the minimal one I get = the same behavior. Thanks for your help.
