FWIW, I am having no issues using the latest CCRMA kernels, nouveau or 
the patched 290.10 prop driver (hw is 1040/rev a1).

I do get kernel oops'es in VirtualBox/KVM that I don't with the stock 
kernel but that is another (for upstream).

One recommendation though, is you should really ensure your system clean 
of the prop drivers (and your initrd) when falling back to the nouveau 
drivers. Use the --uninstall option from nvidia, then reinstall 
mesa-GL*, otherwise everything becomes a little confused.
