Summary: "With a little work, the group of community Linux developers

without any corporate backing have clean-room reverse-engineered the

proprietary NVIDIA GeForce graphics driver to write a fully open-source

2D/3D driver for NVIDIA graphics cards. After years of work, this

open-source driver called Nouveau is now just as fast -- or faster --

than the official NVIDIA driver when running it on low-end GeForce

8/9/200 series graphics cards."
