Not as of the 2.6.34 kernel - my 8500GT card works fine under that kernel. It may be a factor that I have support built-in rather than as a module - certainly, I've not seen the problems Alex reports. FYI, I've been trying out the full Nouveau 3D (Gallium) driver lately - it's easy enough to do, if you're happy to build libdrm and Mesa from git. It works basically, enough to run some OpenGL games, though clearly has some missing functionality - e.g the Spring RTS engine is playable, but with some terrain textures not rendering... Simon.
