Hi
Nvidia really seems to be the odd man out here at this point. VIA has
published a good deal of documentation and has contracted Harald Welte
to help them in their efforts

ATI drivers are getting better too with David Airlie (Red Hat) working
on it.

Indeed, with AMD, VIA and the recent announcement from Atheros about
their ath9k driver (and improvements on their ath5k driver), Intel and
their GEM, and many, many other hardware enhancements. Sure AMD will
still have their binary blob for graphics, but they're coming clean with
open source support for their products, open source 3D support for their
recent hardware should arrive soon, and maybe their previous hardware
can get improvements from these recent releases. Interesting times indeed.
