It is possible to use nouveau driver instead of nvidia drivers. |
| 17 |
nouveau is a free software, it is also compatible with linux |
| 18 |
framebuffer drivers (if I remember this correctly), but 3D |
| 19 |
acceleration will be poor to broken compared to the propietary |
| 20 |
nvidia drivers, as well as some other features (like advance power |
| 21 |
management, cooling states and so on). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Results vary depending on a hardware used, but usually nouveau is |
| 24 |
sufficient when user needs only office, web or video and is |
| 25 |
unacceptable when user needs 3D-related stuff (gaming, modeling, |
| 26 |
etc). |
