Re: [LUG] Comparing proprietary nVidia drivers with Free ones

Previously Nvidia users had to choose between the open source nv
driver which did 2D, had limited multi screen support and no 3D, and
the Nvidia proprietary driver which for the most part works but is
non-free so when it breaks you're a bit stuck.

Noveau is a project started a few years ago to create a Free driver
for Nvidia cards to rival the binary only one.
