Unfortunately:
1. Nvidia seems to have no address for submitting bug reports for their
software/hardware. They certainly have no support - they explicitly
refuse to have anything to do with it!
2. The nv driver will NOT work according to Xfree docs - this is a
GeForce2Go, which despite being several years old is "not supported"
by the 4.2.1 nv driver - or is there a newer version I'm unaware of?
3. Nvidia says "only speak to your hardware vendor". Well, the Geforce2go
is a laptop-only product, and Dell (the vendor) won't even let me view their
support website ("linux is unsupported, we will not let you access this website"
is approximately the message I get if visiting their site!).
4. ...this is despite Michael Dell recently claiming that linux is still
supported as an option on dell systems? (IIRC from recent news)
