+ 1 to this. Many thanks to Sven, not only for his work as a package maintainer but as a contributor on this newsgroup. The nouveau drivers made my Dell Precision workstation usable for the last few months of its life. The binary blobs caused all sorts of headaches with the various DEs I used on that computer (Gnome, LXDE, Xfce). All of the little gotchas went away when I switched to nouveau. Yeah, there were a couple of issues with nouveau, too. But -- because it was open source -- I was able to figure some of them out myself, and get answers for others -- most notably from Sven, himself. Having a properly functioning DE is a lot more important for this old curmudgeon than having 3D acceleration.
