Oh, forget what I just said about Wayland.
Glamor should sit on top of nouveau. Nouveau does a decent amount of hw acceleration now too, it's just the super-modern fancy stuff it won't do (like vdpau last I checked). If you want super low-CPU accelerated video, vdpau is awesome.

I'm using lightdm, but it probably has a similar setup, I'll check it out, thanks! I figured it was a matter of the dm being too early in the sequence to know what the user has selected (part of the problem of randr being configured per-user rather than per-system like the good ol' xorg.conf days).
