Good news, I believe I see my problem and perhaps another. I was 
entering "--with-nouveau-experimental-api" not 
"--enable-nouveau-experimental-api." It works using --enable.

However, the 12/20/11 documentation indicates "--with."

--with-nouveau-experimental-api: This parameter enables use of nouveau's 
experimental kernel API (required for ATI r300 and r660 cards).

I was using the example in the documentation and spacing the "with vs 
enable" part. One reason is the following command uses enable so I 
thought "--with" was specific to nouveau as "--enable" is given for the 
other experimental parameter.

--with-nouveau-experimental-api: This parameter enables use of nouveau's 
experimental kernel API (required for ATI r300 and r660 cards).
--enable-vmwgfx-experimental-api: This parameter enables use of vmwgfx's 
experimental kernel api.

Should the documentation be changed? And on another front, should both 
commands be standard in the ./configure command? I'm by no means an 
expert on this so both questions are just that, questions.
