Well, it's not done automatically, because standard xorg.conf in FC6 
does not have Section "Module" and nouveau-config-display can't handle 
this situation.

As a workaround you can add this into you xorg.conf:

Section "Module"
         Load  "dbe"
         Load  "extmod"
         Load  "fbdevhw"
         Load  "record"
         Load  "freetype"
         Load  "type1"
         Load  "glx"
         Load  "dri"
EndSection

Without it I don't know how to stop loading "dri" module by X server.

This problem is explained here → 
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/InstallNouveau Right now driver has 
to load dri module on its own. When it will be fixed -- I don't know. 
Developers now have more interesting work to finish (context switching, 
etc.) ;-)

I'm not sure whether it's the proper place to report bugs. nouveau 
developer != nv developers ;-) Did you post this links on #nouveau on 
irc.freenode.net?

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8710#c6 -- this can be 
caused by still not fixed drm module (card initialization part). You can 
only once run X server. Next run will crash your box. As a temporary 
solution you have to unload and load drm kernel module.

You have to first create account on nouveau.freedesktop.org wiki. Then 
you will be able to subscribe to this page (button in the right, upper 
corner).

Hope that helps,
