The only source files that nVidia provides are very limited files for
compiling the necessary kernel driver (which, from what I understand,
contains very little info regarding nVidia's hardware). The source rpm
they have for NVIDIA_GLX is nothing more than the compiled libraries and X
extensions.
The NV source is their kernel driver. This basic function
of this routine is to manage DMA transfers of buffers full
of graphics commands to the board. This is a very small
piece of code that exposes almost nothing of the architecture
of the graphics engine. The code that actually
builds the buf

I read in the FAQ, that NVidia provide their own
binary closed source drivers. Yet visiting the Nvidia
homepage driver section I find, that there are not only
binary drivers for several distributions, but also a source
rpm and a source tarball "for those interested". Actua
