drm from git (~12 dec 2007)
x server from git (~6 dec 2007)
nouveau (II) NOUVEAU driver Date:   Sun Dec 23 15:48:24 2007 +0100

right after x server startup i have very corrupted image, all gtk2 apps have no text in menus. But Eterm (text inside it) works.

Options 

#Option "EXANoDownloadFromScreen" "1"                                   
#Option  "EXANoUploadToScreen" "1"                                      
#Option         "EXANoComposite" "1"

has no positive effect.

Ok, with 

(**) NOUVEAU(0): Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"                           
(**) NOUVEAU(0): Option "EXANoComposite" "1"                                    
(**) NOUVEAU(0): Option "EXANoUploadToScreen" "1"                               
(**) NOUVEAU(0): Option "EXANoDownloadFromScreen" "1"

it works better. Fonts are back, and window decorations sometimes fully visible. But scroll (xchat, mozilla) still give me very strange results - image not updated until something "forced" redraw. (i'm using e 0.16.8.11-001 as my window manager, but it works just fine with nouveau + nv11 and nouveau + nv40)
Comment 6 Andrew Randrianasulu 2007-12-23 09:47:45 UTC 
Found workaround:

xcompmgr -a

Everything (gtk2) run fast and perfect.
Comment 7 Andrew Randrianasulu 2007-12-23 10:25:30 UTC 
with only (**) NOUVEAU(0): Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" i don't need xcompmgr anymore. KDE apps works too.
