Then why complain about it? Don't buy NVidia cards! if you don't like
what they're doing with the code and the drivers, don't buy or use their
product. Simple as that. There's always ATI, SiS, and many other cards with
fully GPL coded drivers for it. Just because one may think that NVidia is the
best card out on the market, doesn't mean (unfortunately) they have to
accomodate every OS that uses it, and do it the same way that every other
company does. You have a choice, but also, so do they.
I have an SiS 315E card in my box, and it works great, and haven't
looked at any other card since installing it.
