I also get all of these with nouveau except the i945 line.

I'm not seeing swrast at all, but I am quite disappointed in the nouveau 
performance.   For glxgears, it get about 250 frames/sec.  On the same 
HW using a very old nvidia proprietary driver I get about 8700 fps. 
glxgears may not be a great benchmark, but a 35-1 speed ratio means 
something.
