I think this an urban myth, the Nvidia drivers may be
proprietary but they
are well functioning. Actually there are opensource drivers for nvidia
chips, it is true though that only the proprietary drivers support OpenGL.
The situation isn't much different with ATI, tbough there may be open
source OpenGL enabled drivers, last time I checked it was a real pain to
get them to work and they don't support all cards.
Fact is I had serious crashs caused by the Nvidia opengl driver, although I
have to admit that was one year ago and on the other hand I have a Radeon
9000 where opengl works just fine with a normal X installation. I had to drop
one "chipset" line into XF86Config-4 for the Radeon to work, but that's
nothing compared to the Nvidia stress.
