What happened to Nvidia open sourcing their graphics driver last year? It seems like nothing came out of it. I know the userland is still closed, but wasn’t there an effort to include the driver in Mesa?
I’m not too sure, but I wish there was more action from the code being open sourced. I remember reading a little while back some newer code was leaked for NVIDIA as well, but pretty much the similar issue as there hasn’t been too much done with the info as far as I know.
I know, but it’s progress none the less. At this point, I’d be nearly insane to expect this to work with NVIDIA out the gate :/

Oh I agree, any progress is welcome and Valve is doing a fantastic job in making gaming on Linux viable.
I just put the alert in case someone doesn’t fully read the article and go straight into enabling acceleration.
