NVIDIA's Latest CineFX Card Under Linux
Nvidia Lacky writes "Ran across a new article from LinuxHardware.org that goes through NVIDIA's new driver release and also takes a first look at a CineFX-based NVIDIA card, the Quadro FX under Linux. Should be a good read for those that have been frustrated with Linux drivers in the past or that are looking to get a new workstation video card."
NVIDIA has already been supporting linux lately, maybe poorly to some, but they are among very few who give a shit about it, so let them keep fine tuning, eventually it will be something rather beautiful.
Think of how long it took to perfect windows display drivers, they had what 15 years?
Linux is "new" to most people, it'll come in time and this is proof.
Posting useless rant since 2003.
Hardware just isn't up to snuff with ATI along with the impending doom... Doom 3 that is.
Everyone wants the final specs of Doom 3 first.
I know thats what I'm waiting on.
I don't like ATI drivers but they're hardware is always good. Nvidia is the reverse, I've had a few nvidia based cards fail on me in the past but the drivers were always great.
/. is open sources worst enemy.
Very few of these projects have the funding to run a webserver that can withstand a slashdotting.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
Get out of your fantasy world.

As you say, NO vendor provides such drivers. You know what? As long as zealots such as yourself keep making these sort of declerations, hardware companys will continue to avoid Linux/BSD/etc.
Think of the message you are sending to vendors.
Zealot: Hey Support Linux!
Vendor: Urm, okay
Zealot: Great!
Vendor: Here you go!
Zealot: Hey, IT'S NOT UNDER THE GPL! BOYCOTT!
TODO: Something witty here...
Dear lord, when did pragmatism go out the window in favour of this zealous, excessive obsession over "freedom". Christ, do you ask that all cars be free? Or bridges? Or books? No? Then why software?
