-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hans, thank you for the information. I hadn't realized that the nv driver was written by nVidia.
One point not in its favor, in addition to not doing 3D acceleration, is that it doesn't support 24/32 bit colour either. The "Debian blue swirl" that is the default background for KDM has very obvious lines in the colour gradation with the nv driver, but when using the closed nvidia driver the colour is a clean smooth transition from light blue to dark blue. So not just gaming. But for anyone who is not doing heavy work related to graphics (or gaming, as you point out) will be perfectly happy with the nv driver. > > On Sun, 2006-04-16 at 01:28 +0200, Hans du Plooy wrote: > > > The nv driver is also developed by nVidia.
