Ok, I might add "nouveau.noaccel=1" to the iso, I'll just test it works ok on my nvidia which works fine (pfix=ram)..
Just for reference, here's my glxgears numbers with the default as it stands now:
# glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
3941 frames in 5.0 seconds = 788.146 FPS
4117 frames in 5.0 seconds = 823.320 FPS
4147 frames in 5.0 seconds = 829.196 FPS
# export vblank_mode=0
# glxgears
ATTENTION: default value of option vblank_mode overridden by environment.
