Nouveau (http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/) aims to be an Open Source 3D drivers for nVidia cards. According to the FAQ "2D works as well as nv driver from Xorg with a few additional features. Some 3D acceleration is implemented, mostly on NV40+ cards.", as such it would be a very interesting alternative to the 2D-only nv driver and to the binary only nvidia driver. The project has already attracted a lot of attention and many linux distribution (such as Ubuntu and Fedora) already have plans to include it in their next release. The Nouveau developers insist often on the fact that nothing is in a releasable state yet (at least from a user point of view) nonetheless I would still advocate uploading Nouveau to experimental, to offer an alternative to the existing drivers and to support the Nouveau project effort.
