I agree that nVidia makes some great cards, but the open source xorg driver doesn't support 3D acceleration last I checked, nor any of the bells and whistles that the chipset supports (genlock, quad buffering, stereo, etc). The nVidia driver supplied from nVidia is closed source for x86 and x86-64, and only has a wrapper to recompile the driver's hooks for your current kernel version. Mark -- Mark C.
