The open source NV driver lacks any type of 3D acceleration.

FYI, the Livna driver is just RPM packaging around the 'generic'
nvidia.com close source driver.

nVidia's non-Windows driver support (and BSD/Solaris) runs circles
around ATI's.
No question about it.

Never the less, it is in the community's best interest to have working,
3D-able open source drivers for nVidia hardware. (Hopefully the Nouveau
