That is incorrect. Nouveau does do 3D acceleration. Depending on the 
card it doesn't take advantage of everything, particularly reclocking 
and power management. (Though that is improving.) For very new cards 
some reverse engineering may need to be done before the card is very 
usable. You can check the status of support at:
