I will add an udev rule that I've found in Debian for setting keyboard 
configuration from /etc/sysconfig. Also, I've upgraded Mesa and libdrm 
to latest versions today. They should be available when book renders 
again. You can also do svn clone and build book for yourself if you 
want. As for nouveau, it isn't still stable enough, especially for newer 
cards since Nvidia is not willing to publish it's specifications.
