This is excellent progress! :)  I have in the past gone out of my way
(both literally and figuratively) to avoid Nvidia cards/chipsets due
to their lack of a good libre driver.  Looking forward to the day when
I can get wobbly windows on the old Nvidia cards I've been given
without a proprietary driver (e.g. just from a Live CD).
