- port of nvidia graphics driver => moved to nouveau

It would be nice to have support for NVIDIA propriatory driver too.
AFAIK nouveau(4) doesn't support VDPAU.

That's the kind of debate where there cannot be "one and only one" good answer :)

Indeed, having both supported inside NetBSD would be a clear win; IMO, by the time nouveau is supported, VDPAU support will be added to Gallium3D. Besides, NVidia has approx. zero interest in supporting NetBSD, so any change that would follow Linux/FreeBSD APIs will have to be backported to NetBSD. From a maintenance perspective, I don't think it's worth it.

I am not against having both projects listed though, I am more worried by dilution of man power.
