Actually, Nvidia's binary crap *never* worked for me (GeForce Go 6100). 
All the versions I tried (all from portage, even the hard masked),
crashed the whole machine (!) a few seconds after the Xserver
came up. Seem their kernel driver is heavily broken.

The free Xorg driver works very well, but yet no GL available :(
Once I've got some spare time, I'll join the cracking project
to get an free GL driver.

Back in xf86 times, their secret-code Riva Xservers already have been 
unstable crap, but at least they didn't kill the whole machine
after a few seconds.

I strongly suggest not to buy anything from this company, until
they open their specs to the free world !
