The description of package xf86-video-nouveau (
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/xf86-video-nouveau) is
"Open
Source 2D acceleration driver for nVidia cards", but Arch Wiki(
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau) says that it is "Open
Source
3D acceleration graphics driver for NVIDIA cards". Is there any mistakes?
Both. afiak it started out as a 2d driver, but these days it also has
[limited] 3d acceleration.
Thanks. I found this page after I have posted this.

The support is really very limited.
