I have nothing but hope for the nouveau team, and all the best wishes. 
With that said, I have to avoid it like the plague. Wine does something 
similar (and Steam games that run under Wine) and cannot contend with 
multiple monitors/video cards. But, any native Linux game can, with no 
sweat. It's pure ~joy~ to have monsters coming at you across three 
monitors and 6.1 sound. So, I refuse to use less. So, I limited my 
losses to $25 at Steam. :) Ric
