I don't have a problem with Steam. As long as I use the Nvidia drivers it works perfectly well. My problem is with hibernation. See the thread starting at:

You mentioned problems with Steam under Nouveau. Sorting that means more people, including you, can use Nouveau. Sorting a problem involving Nvidia drivers is more likely to be an exercise in frustration since we aren't allowed to see big parts of the code that might be involved.
No doubt, but a) I'm not an expert on graphics drivers so realistically I can't contribute anything useful to the Nouveau project other than testing stuff, and b) the Nvidia hardware is proprietary and (I assume) incompletely documented. This is true of a lot of GPU chipsets. The proprietary drivers work better because they use undocumented features. Apparently
