Yes, but the nouveau in F10 is rather a long way behind what's in F11.
However, if you want to try it in F10, install the relevant package
(xorg-x11-drv-nouveau), create an xorg.conf, and change Driver "nv" to
Driver "nouveau".
You may also need to stick a line:
modprobe nouveau
in /etc/rc.local, I'm not 100% sure about that.
If your work laptop can boot from a live CD, just grab the test day live
CD (linked from the Wiki page) and give it a try with that.
Thanks for that. I'll try the F-11 beta live cd shortly. Just tried it
on a usb stick on my eeePC without much luck as it didn't get past the
syslinux prompt (the syslinux prompt was a grey shadow of what you
usually see) but then I've not tried recreating the stick using livecd
tools again. The livecd does boot fine in a KVM instance though....
