From what I read, some people have learned not to get exited until
nVidia says "has released" -- "will be releasing" being an old story,
often told.  Apparently, XFree86 manages to get enough info out of ATI
and some other companies to write open-source drivers for them in a more
timely manner.  (My new Radeon 7000 works nicely under XFree86 4.2.)
