F11 uses nouveau here.  It is actually a pain to get 'nv' going as an 
alternate -- bugs have been filed.  Makes kernel dev more difficult for 
me.  I was actually told, by Fedora people, that I should be hacking on 
the Fedora (rpm-based) kernel, rather than a 100% upstream kernel like I 
have been hacking/booting for the past decade, as a result of this setup 
(needing nouveau kernel support, thus needing Fedora rather than 
upstream kernel).
