nVidia hasn't been very friendly about releasing specs in the past.  I
wouldn't expect them to change.

On the other hand, they have been supporting XFree86.  I suspect the GeForce
will be supported with XFree86 and commercial X servers.  Side question:
Does anyone know if the XF86 code is still obfuscated?

And while I'm on the topic of nVidia, I'd like to point out that 2.3.x
kernels now have RIVA fbdev support.  I glanced at the code; it's based on
the X server.  There isn't any documentation, though, and it makes my
monitor go blank when I try it.

Evan.
