The problem with this is that Nvidia license non-free code for use in their drivers. They are not allowed to distribute the source, or other information about the code, so they have two choices for Linux drivers: release binary drivers or release open drivers with the code removed and have everyone complain how the Linux drivers are slower or less capable than the Windows ones. Damned if they do and damned if they don't :( -- Neil Bothwick Wrappers are futile. Chocolate will be assimilated.
