Yeah, we have to get the source. This is a no-go for me. 1. I'm in 64-bit land. This isn't compiled for that. 2. I'm using the Gentoo-patched kernel, who knows how this will break. 3. I'm already using the compiled obfuscated NVidia coward-ass drivers I don't want yet more nonsense-ware on my machine if I can at all avoid it.
