Nvidia Dance...

This isn't a question for Fedora.  This is a question for Nvidia.  While
it would be great to have nvidia's drivers documented and as part of the
kernel and xorg, this isn't likely to happen any time soon.

Questions regarding how soon Nvidia will release working drivers for
GCC4 and FC4 are questions only Nvidia can answer.  Asking on this list
is only likely to stir up a flame war regarding the evils of binary
drivers which then moves to debate about the pros and cons of vi and
emacs and finally fading out to a quick discussion on whether KDE or
Gnome is the true desktop (along with a couple of interjects that people
should look at XFCE).

Meanwhile, Nvidia will continue to plod along with development of their
binary driver, happily oblivious to the thousands of unnecessary emails
members of this list and others have received that shed no real light on
the question.

Hope that helps.
