Build problems on Ubuntu Natty (11.04)

[Bill Spitzak]

Well this sounds reassuring.

Is there any way to get the *newest* Nouveau driver, or is the one in 
the Ubuntu repository about as new as I am going to find?

I suspect compiling it from git will requiring compiling *all* of X11, 
which from what I heard is a nightmare that I might want to avoid.
