Dave was nice enough to layout what the priorities are for Red Hat staffed manhours when it comes to video driver development work

Yes. But that is also somewhat worrying, given that I reported a complete failure a month ago (as in X is completely unusable -- it crashes reliably at startup), and nothing's come of that yet. Can they really have that many other critical X bugs that they haven't been able to look at it in a month?

Graphics development is hard. This is nothing specific to Fedora, all distros have this many graphics bugs, more or less.

Oh, and we did 'take a look at it': Ben Skeggs is RH/Fedora's nouveau developer. If you can't get logs, there's nothing we can do to tell what's going wrong. You could boot to runlevel 3 and try startx manually.
