You mean contrib rather than non-free? I don't think it is appropriate
to put it in contrib, xorg contains 3D drivers for enough cards
(including ati) and there is work to write free nvidia drivers:

(now merged)

Also, I think there is talk of using cairo for rendering too? Is that
the case Miriam?
