I understand your frustration with the nouveau issue, but unfortunately, 
there's very little chance of us being able to fix an X server crash 
using the proprietary driver :/. The nouveau issue is the one to keep 
bashing at. I believe Ben's been busy with some non-bug-fix-y work 
lately, so the pace of bug fixing for nouveau has slowed down, 
unfortunately.
