I guess I just need to find a clue somewhere...but I do not care one bit if nVidia releases all source, some source, or no source for any of thier drivers...I want the drivers, so I can use the hardware to do in Linux what I can do in windows ( read : games ).
Sorry if that ruffles someones feathers...but I would say the vast majority of people do not really care about the source, but care about it actually working. I have no problems with them writing their own drivers for their hardware.
It is in the companies best interest to write good drivers, and as fast as possible, to support as much as possible. Personally I hope I can fly on Quake 3 on my nice TNT2...that is my bottom line, not having source I will never look it.
I had this problem too ( with all the 2.2.0pre series ), but a friend ( Hi Victor! ) mentioned to me that there is a 'fix' on the X11amp web site.
Not a fix really, but the problem is when using zipped skins. If you unzip your skin, and point to the dir in your config file ( instead of the zip file ) everything works fine. Or just do not use skins.
