Hi,

So I have done a fair bit of testing against the latest nouveau driver
with my nvidia quadro card (PCIe NVS 280) this past week and have been
very pleasantly surprised at how stable and happy it makes my system in
comparison to the icky nv driver.

Testing it on one card, in one setup, does not really qualify a driver
to be a default driver :)

We decided against nouveau because we think its not mature enough for a
default driver and also because we cant really support it that well like
we can the nv driver.

The driver will be in the buildservice though, like it has been since
10.3. So you can just install and use it...
