you can't use RPMs built for a different OS distribution, you'd need to take the SRPM and rebuild/recompile it.

Aren't the dependencies still the same? I think they are explicitly spesified in the spec file of the source rpm?

out of general curiosity, I did some poking around the Nouveau project wiki. In short order, I learned..

A) its still highly experimental and very incomplete.

B) it has three components, a 2D driver, a 3D driver, and a kernel driver. you need to build all three together for your target OS.
