Interesting. You'd think NVidia would keep their proprietary drivers 
current with their hardware. ATI certainly does.

I wouldn't worry about support though. You can always fall back to VESA 
modes until the drivers catch up. Unless NVidia suddenly decides to stop 
providing Linux drivers, that won't be long.
