Same problem I had with the NV<>Nouveau switch.
I run Debian Sid,
they
dumped NV, but Nouveau is still "experimental" and doesn't support a
lot
of older NVidia cards, so jumping through hoops to get video seems to
be
the "standard" Xorg way now. (With or without an RT kernel.) Almost
like
going back to the bad old Linux days when you had to know the real
part
numbers for the actual video chips, so you could track down the
technical specs you needed to tell X to use. Sigh.
When I contacted one of the developers, I was basically told that I
could download the NV code, update it to work with Sid, and compile
it
myself ... Oh, well!
So anyway it sounds to me like however you resolve it, it won't "work
all the times without much work."
:D
Computers as tools are hell.
In the 80s I bought software to handle my Roland MT-32 with the C64.
IIRC the software was from Gerdes, anyway, it doesn't work for my C64.
At that time I was a coder, I hacked the software, corrected the bugs
and made it available for free. A time-barred crime :p.
Some time ago I won an iPad2. There's amazing audio software available,
but since I upgraded iOS from 5.0.1 to 5.1 even using the iPad as a Book
reader doesn't work, since I'm unable to sync most of the apps,
including iBooks and some of the amazing audio software.
Linux cause the less pain for me, anyway it cause much pain.
I'm unable to program nowadays computers ... it sucks, it seems that
"personal responsibility" is = "be an expert".
I'm unable to produce forks and knives, fortunately I can buy "common"
forks and knives and don't need to eat with my hands.
Hell!
Without humor I would run berserk!
:D

PS: The classic Atari ST was the best Computer I ever used! Completely
painless! I never used any Win, MacBlabla (Dirk Brauner borrowed me a
Mac + Logic + a Firewire Moto) or anything else ex the Atari ST that was
painless.
IMO Linux cause the less pain, but anyway it cause unsustainable pain.
A friend of mine through away his Mac through the window and today he
doesn't use the computer for music anymore, he only use some M$ crap to
get computerless music hardware at EBay.

FWIW he owned two Bechstein grand pianos, a small and a large one. He
gave away the large Bechstein and bought a Baldwin for peanuts at Ebay.
The Baldwin is the best grand piano I ever heard, much better than any
Stainway.
I'm uncertain, if I should fix my computer or simply should drop it and
get an old e-guitar ;).

The Bechstein he kept has got real ivory keys. This Bechstein sounds
muddy compared to the Baldwin. I didn't notice it without comparison,
but the tactile impression is amazing. Anyway, at least the quality of
the Baldwin is much better than any other grand piano, at least for my
flavour.

PPS:
Baldwin = sound
Bechstein with real ivory keys = the best keyboard for a non-keyboarder
like me. The friend, a keyboard prof, is fine withe then Baldwin's
plastic.
