      This is great. I have a geforce 660 card that I purchased because I wanted to run 3x monitors on it. Soon I can try without the official nvidia driver. Not that I mind the official one, it works great for me, but it feels better to "be a bit free"

        correct

          Nouveau will always be held hostage to nvidia's antagonism towards libre drivers, especially after they started signing the firmwares.

            That reminds me. I keep forgetting to look into why it's not feasible to extract the firmware from the binary driver and then load it using whatever method that driver uses.

            (As a way to ensure that, even if end users have to grab the binary driver and run an extraction script, at least it would guarantee compatibility with future kernels when nVidia's support is lagging or end-of-lifed.)

              I thought it had something to do with the GPU bios itself rejecting blobs without the proper signature? Or did they get around that?

                Wouldn't be faster try to break this signature thing instead of waiting nvidia? It took a year or 2 to they release part of the firmware

                  I've always gotten the impression cryptography is more an art than a science. A gut feeling can get you a lot further than mathematical analysis. Which is why most people suck at it. It takes a certain kind of inborn skills for a person to be really good at it, in that way it's more like a sport, and nVidia's team is way better paid.

                    Because they want to stay friends with Nvidia I think.
