I use rawhide a lot on my main desktop now. So I probably see more breakage
than you do. I also have monitors that don't do EDID and that caused me
a lot of grief in the past.

On a related note, it looks like my nv20s might get nouveau support very
soon. Phoronix posted an article today that some new code for mesa that
supports older nvidia cards (through some nv20s) that don't use shaders
is about to get merged to mesa master. (And I'm hoping shows up in rawhide
shortly afterwards.)
