First thing, top posting is not considered a good thing here. Plus,
there is always some lag between your posts and a user reading your
message and re-posting in reply to it. Feed back is not always
immediate. FYI

And ...Sudheer is exactly right here as the nvidia "drivers" (modules)
are proprietary. So, they cannot be included. I use nVidia and have
learned to live with it while I enjoy the performance of their product
line. Even MS has the same problem, as the nVidia supplied drivers for
Windows are better than the MS intalled ones. Enjoy! Ric
