Unfortunately nVidia's 3D support is all closed-source, and they don't really share documentation for 2D either. I do not consider this "better." ATi, on the other hand, has shared complete documentation for many of its earlier cards and I believe this will continue. It is also increasing support for its official closed-source drivers. And the Direct Rendering Guide is getting a little outdated unfortunately because I haven't had time to update it. =\
