nouveau + GTX 580: Xorg hangs

Has anyone got Xorg up and running with the nouveau driver on a GTX 580?

I get these errors in Xorg.0.log and the screen freezes a few seconds after Xorg startup (except mouse movement):

[   542.130] [mi] These backtraces from mieqEnqueue may point to a culprit higher up the stack.
[   542.130] [mi] mieq is *NOT* the cause.  It is a victim.

Searching the net I found a workaround: adding options nouveau noaccel=1 to the appropriate file in /etc/modprobe.d.
(Bug report: here)

Package versions:
  - linux-ck-corex 3.4.6-1
  - mesa 8.0.4-2
  - xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.1-1

(no DRI package installed)

Any suggestions?
