Hi,
"Currently, GNU/Linux users with Nvidia graphics cards have two
choices: Either use the proprietary drivers and violate their free
software principles, or use the free nv driver and do without 3-D
acceleration. The Nouveau project is working to overcome this dilemma
by producing its own set of fully functional free Nvidia drivers. We
talked to Stephane Marchesin and Ben Skeggs, two of the active
developers in Nouveau, about the history of the project and the
current status of its work."

Can we try something like this? How about setting up a reverse
engineering lab? Anyone interested in this kind of hacking?
Cheers
Praveen
