Because nVidia doesn't release any documentation. There are still people
who seem crazy enough to want to work on DRI drivers for nVidia, but
nothing has been done yet, and getting a driver in good shape is a
matter of months at least. (And even if they succeed, the drivers may
only work on x86)

Rage128 should work out of the box, for a Radeon my DRI packages will be
useful.
