Open nVidia Linux Driver Pledge Nearly Complete

Posted by kdawson on from the encouragement dept.

Ciarán Mooney writes to let us know that the Pledgebank drive to raise $10,000 for Project Nouvaeu is almost complete — at this moment it needs only 196 more people to sign up. Project Nouveau aims to provide open source 3D acceleration for nVidia cards. The drive was started by David Nielsen, whose blog explains what he hopes will happen.

    Having a driver for Linux 2.6.y doesn't necessarily imply you have a driver for Linux 2.6.z, let alone Linux 2.8 or 2.4.

    This sounds like an incredibly good reason to not use Linux.
