Hey, this bug is quite serious and does not seem to be getting much attention.

It was causing crashing and overheating on my HP 8510w. It would be nice if the old 2D only "nv" driver could be supported in addition to nouveau as that driver did not cause nearly as much of an issue.

If nothing will be fixed then at least the workaround should be made clearly available. I had to disassemble the system and look for broken / hot components to find the cause of the issues.
