Nope it's wrong way thinking. They should try factory with nouveau (it performs mostly equal and sometimes better) than the proprietary in 80% of use case.
I tried nouveau several times and inevitably went back due to (lack of) power management. My notebook is not very silent even with nVidia drivers; with nouveau it becomes tabletop instead of laptop (too hot to keep on lap).
I've exactly the inverse here with the Quadro K2000M + blob no way to get a stable suspend etc .. For the "hot" part the nouveau driver == nvidia one
For power-management and support also on external screen you have to use kernel 3.16 or +
For efficiency on battery I don't care too much :-)
For me the "blob" = NVIDIA driver never worked at all on my notebook, nouveau does like a charm. Plus nouveau keeps improving a lot. If you really care about temps, there is now experimental reclocking support which you can use to lower power consumption. For "optimus" setups nouveau just suspends the second card till it is needed, as it is meant to be (played). So to say, try a newer kernel + new userspace and you will have less problems. And if you really still have problems, try talking to the nouveau guys or create a bugentrys at freedesktop.org :)

I believe that this is the best version of nouveau. It is getting better and better. Nvidia is contributing to nouveau. Is it not. Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
