Issues like this are the reason why I do not buy NVidia based desktop/laptop 
graphics at all, basically following a simple rule: Either the driver is free 
software or I am not interested *at all*. As its difficult to write well working 
drivers when the manufacturer of the graphic chips does not help very much by 
providing specs, docs and developer resources, I stick to vendors that get it 
mostly right regarding free software (currently Intel, but certain AMD chips / 
cards may be just well as well).

Of course that only helps with newly bought hardware. And it doesn´t help 
gamers who want high enough FPS  and late enough OpenGL support even for 
demanding games. I just stick to games that work well enough with my current 
hardware.

Thanks,
