You have source to a small bit of it.

ATI provided a ton of help to get radeon drivers including the 3D. Several
laptop vendors now test Linux ACPI compliance routinely.

Nvidia choose not to provide their 3D stuff. They have good business
reasons for this so I don't expect it to change. They do also however to
their credit provide most of the open source "nv" driver too
