The nouveau drivers in Ubuntu offer absolutely no 3d support; this bug
doesn't really apply to them at the moment.

The upstream nouveau development does have some 3d support for some
cards, but this is aggressively unsupported - it is known to be
incomplete, and the best that can be expected is for it to run
undemanding 3d apps until VRAM is exhausted. Upstream does not want to
hear about problems with 3D unless there is a patch attached which fixes
them!

By the time nouveau's 3D support is worth shipping, it will support DRI2
- the initial work is already there.
