Truly a bummer! Given the large number of nVidia card users there are, I
would think this should be more of a priority. Please don't let this
turn into a philosophical discussion (aka a flame fest) on nVidia vs.
others. A lot of people use nVidia cards - we need to deal with that and
respond to the end user population accordingly...

I already had to do this just to get F10 Snap 3 even to install and have
video of any kind show up. Still not working. I guess I'll keep
following the updates and we'll see when we catch up.
