It really looks like it is NVidia's fault. But I don't think that it is not of
any interest for Linux, that there are problems with NVidia boards!
The GeForce cards are at the moment the most used graphic boards. Everyone who
wants to have fast 3D support for Linux seems to prefer NVidia boards. A few
minutes ago a played a deathmatch with Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo and was
very happy that everything worked fine within Linux. I really don't want to
miss it ;-)
Perhaps NVidia just has to disable something within acpi like they do with
apm... or make there driver open source.......
