Well, do you have any idea of how tricky it is to reverse engineer such
a driver ? I don't think anyone skilled enough to do it wants to waste
so much time just because nVidia is not playing fair with binary only
drivers and no support for non-x86. Let's just buy other cards and let
them know _why_ we buy other cards.
