One of the many situations where the proprietary drivers make
trouble. And I wouldn't assume NV will be investing reasonable
development resources, since the armany guys cannot "measure"
the benefits in their excel spreadsheets.

AFAIK, the free driver has no real 3D support yet.
But there's the Noveau project, which examines the proprietary
driver's behaviour and collects information for driver development.

Me too.
Maybe a software renderer would work fine, but I didn't really
tried to set it up yet.
