Thanks, and sorry for the slow reply.  Did you get a chance to try
this?  I think the most straightforward way to fix this bug would be
to get nouveau working with your card, so I'd be interested in
pursuing that.

Results from testing nouveau with the 3.5.y kernel from experimental
would be interesting as well.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
