Here's what I've found:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Nouveau#Firmware
"If you have a NV04-NV40 class card, firmware will not be necessary."
This information may be outdated though. I'd like to buy a video card with
fully free 3D support, but I'm yet to find out which ones are /really/
supported without NVidia blobs.
