nVidia already contributes to the open source nv driver.
A couple of months ago I spoke to the lead nVidia Linux driver developer
about opening their driver, and he claims that even if nVidia wanted to,
it is bound by a number of NDAs that prevents it from releasing a full
open source driver.

Hi Edward,
The connection speed is 115200.
I use a standard serial cable (which works perfectly when I use
windows to the clariion).
I tried many commands according to the various PPP howtos/faqs.
Basically what I tried to run is something like:
pppd -detach crtscts lock defaultroute /dev/tts/US
Hello all,
Imagine that you have a site, which you enter, and immediately get of
links to the latest *interesting* threads in some high-volume newsgroup,
a *relevant* security alert, some *funny* cartoons and a really *nice*
blog entry. That's what editaste tries to create.
Impossible, you s
I understand your point.
But as it stands, I rather have half open driver that works and gives me
Windows-like OpenGL performance then have a fully-open driver that
doesn't support acceleration (nv) or worse, nothing at all.

Before we go into an all out war, may I suggest what I suggested to the
said nVidia dev?
Open -all- the generic code (AKA kernel interfaces, etc) creating a
fully open driver and push all the NDA'ed stuff into a closed source
pluggable module. (Which they already have - the nVidia libGL library)

I'm not saying that nVidia is perfect. Far from it.
I am saying that we should try to get the get a better closed source

modifying the open-source part of the driv

Hi,
My setup: Debian Sarge on AMD Athlon (32bit).
DVD burner: LG GSA-4163B
CD Burner: LG GCE-8520B
I use KDE and K3B to manage the burners.
In order to verify that the copying is correct, I did it in multiple steps -
1. create an image on the disk.
2. mount image and cd, run "diff -r"
3. umount

Did you check alsa?
What distro are you running?
oss is lame I have much joy from alsa.
Also if it is supported in alsa there will be good docs on how to get it
running.

What exactly are you willing to do ?
is it for controlling a MIDI device ?
just to play midi files ?
to use internal MIDI device ?
