I wish I could use the proprietary driver.  But there isn't one yet.

I have a Quadro NVS 160M, Fedora 12, 64bit.

nouveau works rather well out of the box, but I lose compositing and
many if not all of the 3D functions.

Blender does run, but has display update issues.  I'm not sure if that's
a driver or Blender issue.
