1)link is broken

> nvidia has done practically nothing since then to support nouveau in any meaningful way

There's an awful lot of stuff in that directory for that to be the case.

"Before getting too excited, this is strictly about the display hardware and not about the 3D engine, etc." - from the link you gave. So still a show but not a real help.

that was 1 doc out of many on http://download.nvidia.com/open-gpu-doc/

multiple docs have been updated in this past year
