Looks like after adding the driver to kernel config

    option drm
    option nouveaudrm

make(1) spews following warnings near the begining of output from
buildkernel target

"Makefile", line 2939: warning: duplicate script for target "nouveau_dma.o" ignored

and exits with error on linking

Did I miss something? The module works fine but not very usable on my
9600GT. One thing to note is that NoAccel works *slower* than without
nouveau.ko present at least on my box.
