NVIDIA Drops Their Open-Source Driver, Refers Users To VESA Driver http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=nvidia_kills_nv&num=1
WOW, really bad news Linux. Nvidia can go screw themselves. "Nvidia has announced they are dropping this open-source support for future GPUs and really ending it altogether. Nvidia's recommendation is to just use the generic X.Org VESA driver to navigate their way to nvidia.com so that they can install the proprietary driver." "Our advice to owners of NVIDIA GPUs running Linux is to use the VESA X driver from the time of Linux distribution installation until they can download and install the NVIDIA Linux driver from their distribution repositories or from nvidia.com."
