If you install the proprietary nvidea driver from Nvidea's site instead
of the default FOSS nv driver you get (better?) support for the
hardware 3d acceleration of your card. I assume you have a videocard
based on a Nvidea chipset.
Loading the proprietary nvidea driver does 'taint' the kernel: it's no
longer completely open source and problems can only be debugged by
Nvidea. AFAIK kernel developers won't work on problems with a tainted
kernel even if the problems seem unrelated to the module that tainted
the kernel.
