[Nouveau] Nouveau takes 100% CPU on startx but does not show anything on GeForce FX 5200

Hi,

I just installed the latest nouveau driver from git to try if it works and
after modifying my xorg.conf and switching to xorg-x11 opengl startx changes
screenmode (screen gets black) and nothing more happens. I can ssh from
another maschine and see that X takes 100% CPU but nothing more happens. I am
on Gentoo Linux, followed the guide from the Wiki, have Xorg-x11-7.2,
tuxonice patched sources 2.6.24 and x11-drm, libdrm and nouveau from git.
Loading the drm and the nouveau module worked fine. I attach the Xorg logfile
and xorg.conf. I started X with startx -- -layout NouveauLayout

Best Regards,
--

# Option "DontZoom"

# Uncomment this to disable tuning with the xvidtune client. With

# receive a protocol error.

# Option "DisableVidModeExtension"

# Uncomment this to enable the use of a non-local xvidtune client.

# Option "AllowNonLocalXvidtune"

# Uncomment this to disable dynamically modifying the input device
