One thing to keep in mind about this issue is that ATI and NVidia start
working on their 3d drivers even before their cards are released yet.
We are still asking for documentation for the next to latest generation of
ATI cards (R300) (and, AFAIK, NVidia does not provide docs at all).
So open source driver will always be late. However the question of how
late depends a lot on how easy it is to program using current
frameworks (i.e. Mesa, DRI, X11).
