I think it is. I'm doing things on my Geforce 8200 I could never do before.

While I *very occasionally* see graphical corruption when rolling over Xfce
startmenus, or the "File Edit View Help" bars in application windows, accel
seems to be working okay.

$ glxinfo

direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
client glx version string: 1.4
OpenGL vendor string: nouveau
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on NVAA
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.9-devel
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20

This is with kernel 2.6.34_rc2, 1-hour-old checkouts of
Mesa/libdrm/xf86-video-nouveau, and nouveau-firmware-20091212. Mesa is built
with gallium3d, since apparently that's required for nouveau these days. I
dunno if there are any other software versions or xorg.conf settings that would
be better, but the above stack is what works for me. Nice'n'stable; no lockups.

No, I can't run ioQuake3-based games like Urban Terror at native 1440x900 with
all settings maxed (the way I can with my RadeonHD 4550 and xf86-video-ati),
but it is kinda playable. That's big progress.

So whatever ya'll have done in the last month, keep it up -- it's yielding
amazing results. Thanks a bunch!
