The 256.35 driver works for me (without the above-referred patch), but anywhere
between 1 and 48 hours my laptop locks up hard without any warning nor panic.
This is with CURRENT r209581, GENERIC kernel, but with debug.witness.watch=0
If I set debug.witness.watch to 1, the kernel freezes when starting X.

The nv driver seems to run nice, but without xv/DRI though.
