About nouveau: I am quite shocked to find out that the driver package that makes gfx work in half of the machines out there is abandoned. This has a huge impact for end users. But lets do something about it. Initially I updated it to what I found in the Fedora LiveCD, but then I updated it to what the maintainer submited to rawhide. The maintainer should know what version is good :-). I also added a patch that he added on top for NV3.

Well, the update of x11-video-nouveau did not help my workstation. I am suspecting now the problem is on the GNOME side. With the proprietary driver the driver on System Info -> Graphics appears empty. With nouveau, I get fallback mode as well, but the interesting part is the driver is detected correctly as "Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300)" but with "Fallback" experience, and glxgears show more fps than my Intel laptop where GNOME3 works. I tried both with Factory Mesa and home:jobermayr Mesa + Mesa-nouveu3d (yes, on Factory Mesa-nouveu3d is now part of Mesa... :-/ ) without different results. As I mentioned, Fedora Alpha LiveCD works (3.0 kernel).
