"On the Phoronix Forums we have been running a Q&A with the developers of the Nouveau project. For those out of the loop or new to Linux, the Nouveau project aims to provide an open-source 2D/3D graphics driver for NVIDIA hardware. After collecting a number of questions from our readers, KoalaBR and Marcheu have answered these questions. The questions range from whether there will be open-source SLI support to asking if NVIDIA has ever contacted the Nouveau developers."

It seems like the most progress has been made on 6xxx and 7xxx series cards, which aren't exactly the latest and greatest - I think they are probably the most popular linux graphics cards right now. I do think you could make an argument that supporting the older cards first would be simpler and allow extensions to then work on newer cards, but I'm not sure if that is really true or not. Maybe the architecture just changes too much between releases.
