I'm using Nouveau on my Thinkpad running RHEL 6.2, and it's great. I hook up a project or external monitor, press Fn-F7 a few time to switch to the mode I want, and it Just Works. So much better integrated than the NV proprietary driver.
Sure, I'm not playing any 3D games with Nouveau but that's not what I use the laptop for anyway.

Surprisingly, I can play many games like Darkplaces and Q3A. The performance of the proprietary driver is better, but I'm pretty impressed at how fast Nouveau is.
