howto says up to 2.6.11 -- is this outdated?
The Debian GNU/Linux AMD64 HOW-TO from
http://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html
says in the section "Is nvidia card supported"

Is the restriction on kernels up to 2.6.11 serious? Or is it just
out-of-date or extra careful.
I'm running etch with
linux-image-2.6.12-1-amd64-generic_2.6.12-10_amd64.deb
The X I'm trying to get up is xorg.
By the way, the system is doing what I got it for just perfectly.
It's the most reliable system on my net Getting X up on it would be
the icing on the cake.
