You mentioned problems with Steam under Nouveau. Sorting that means more

Nvidia
drivers is more likely to be an exercise in frustration since we aren't

to see big parts of the code that might be involved.
No doubt, but a) I'm not an expert on graphics drivers so realistically
I can't contribute anything useful to the Nouveau project other than
testing stuff, and b) the Nvidia hardware is proprietary and (I assume)
incompletely documented. This is true of a lot of GPU chipsets. The
proprietary drivers work better because they use undocumented features.
Apparently
Sure, but the point George was making was that if you file a bug on
Nouveau with the problems that you're having with Steam, maybe it could
get fixed and you wouldn't have to worry about hibernating with the
NVidia driver.
