I don't think the proprietary driver will compile against it.  I've been
testing vanilla 2.6.33 and 2.6.33-rtx for the past couple of weeks for other
reasons (my brand new Toshiba laptop is turning into a real POS and I'm
having to test acpi patches just to get it to boot) and I've found that:

1. The "unsafe" 195.36.08 proprietary driver will compile just fine against
vanilla 2.6.33 but not 2.6.33-rtx
2. The "safe" 190.53 driver will compile against everything up to 2.6.32
but, for some reason, can't find a 2.6.33 source tree.
