That seems to be the attitude of most linux users to nVidia (I can
understand why!), but somebody needs to step up to the plate - I don't know
enough (yet) to make a big difference, but it'll be a menacing learning
project *grin* (I'm a glutton for punishment)

There's enough people out there with AGP GeForce cards in their G4's that
something really needs to happen...I was thinking the 'nv' driver as well -
what real benefit do console drivers actually offer XFree86?

Oooh :) Now I'm excited about learning! Everything else runs wonderfully on
my DP G4, if I can get XFree86 running, I will be a happy person.
