Is it really just nouveau? I've not looked, but I bet the intel driver and 
the radeon driver have _exactly_ the same "oh, I'm the wrong version, I 
will now kill myself" behavior.

I certainly seem to remember some similar issues with the intel driver 
long long ago.

What would happen if I changed DRIVER_PATCHLEVEL to 1 for the i915 driver? 
Would it try to handle it gracefully? Or are we in the same situation that 
the intel driver guys can never fix anything fundamental without doing a 
whole flag day?
