2D and 3D features works well on our machines with Nouveau driver
because we are using Blender, Gimp and Inkscape for professional
works, (coadde has Geforce 8400GS, and me a 9800GT). I say it because
my parents are artists and we help them on the post-production.
Also in my free time, i like play games as Xonotic with High
Definition configuration, and details like shaders and special effects
are notorious because Geforce 9800GT has OpenGL 3.3 support on mesa in
the latest versions :)
