Not necessarily a DRI card - just one with hardware acceleration, such as the nVidia drivers provide. So a GF2 ought to work, even if not quite so well as a more modern card...

As for timeframes, it's not something that's really linked to Gnome, since that just uses underlying libraries like X and cairo. So that will come whenever the lower level projects are ready, not as part of the KDE or Gnome release cycles.

If a GF2 with nvidia closed drivers can't handle drawing the screen then I doubt ANY of the OSS drivers on any card could handle it. I'm sure he will be fine for the next 5+ years for everything except maybe 3D games.

It's sad just how bad the OSS drivers really are.
