I am surprised by the Gallium drivers at this stage in the game. I can't speak for Nvidia, but the AMD stuff for 57xx hardware has worked out great for me (when using xorg-edgers PPA for Ubuntu and 2.6.38)
It's actually faster then the older more traditional DRI drivers already.
I am cautiously optimistic that we have reached a similar situation with graphics that we saw with wifi... were the introduction of mac80211 protocol stack actually provided the basis for making it easier to write great working drivers for the majority of the hardware.
