> but isn't Nouveau 3D performance so far behind the proprietary drivers that nobody is going to be using it for gaming anyway (at least for a long time)? One of the main reasons for the lack of performance is clock/power management of the cards. The proprietary driver clocks up the GPU while nouveau does not. I would guess this is one of the reasons for why they asked for the power management documentation.
