OK, by bad. :) I kinda agree with nvidia myself. They've got the 3d graphics market on the PC corned. Why would you give away that just for a driver? From what I've seen, they have OSSed the kernel-interfaces of the driver. That's fine with me. If they want to have to give extra support to keep that edge, good for them. Mike
