Like I said, might have been an illusion - I have 3 distros on

Alpha) so I may stick with Nouveau there as well. Sid is the
one I use 80% of the time. It would be **so* nice if Nvidia
open-sourced their Linux drivers!!!!!
With NVidia the almost automatic response is to dive into the proprietry
driver pool. It seems to me that unless 3D is a need (used by less than
5% of users) or the card is not supported well, you are going to be
served well by the nouveau driver.
Does nouveau support vdpau (which, even on the old 8400GS,
*significantly* reduces CPU usage when watching video)?
