No kidding. Freedom is entirely overrated!

Besides, it doesn't work with Xen. Nvidia says so. Maybe it will in the future.

It *DOES* work with the Xen dom0 kernel. I'm running a dom0 kernel on a box at work using the Nvidia driver in Twinview mode:

{warrior02:jon}: uname -a
Linux warrior02 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5xen0 #1 SMP Wed Apr 19 05:49:52 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
{warrior02:jon}: cat /proc/modules |grep -i nvidia
nvidia 4551796 8 - Live 0xf4f29000
{warrior02:jon}: grep -i nvidia /etc/X11/xorg.conf
        ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
        Driver      "nvidia"
        VendorName  "Nvidia"
{warrior02:jon}: grep -i twin /etc/X11/xorg.conf
        Option      "TwinView"
        Option      "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf"
{warrior02:jon}:

Of course, the domU kernels don't work (directly) with the nvidia driver. Not sure if anyone has had any success with video for domU though. What's the word there?
