3D and energy management can be important, but isn't needed by
everybody. If you want to run this kernel and don't need 3D, the nv
driver might work, it at least does on my machine with the rt patched
version of the kernel you wish to use.

I hope it won't be dropped by Arch. Other distros dropped it.
