Yep, it's running fine.  I've had it installed for 2 weeks so far.

I'm outputting to analog VGA video out since my Samsung 40" doesn't 
handle DVI / HDMI in the native panel resolution (1360x768).

Anyway, so far so good.  As others have said, I've waiting for VDPAU to 
come online.  I might go beta, but it took me some time to get SPDIF 
audio out working, so I'm hesitant to go offline (even for a few hours) 
again so soon.
