Is so we should go for it ! I am not quite sure of the details, but it was quite a pain for the XFree86 folks to ever get Matrox to work with them on drivers for thier cards. You might search thier archives, or ask them... And IIRC some form of consumer pressure was applied to Diamond to get them to release the details of certian special stuff that they had done on some of their cards having to do with special dot clock circuits... (After someone else did some reverse engineering IIRC again.) I do know that any manufacture can be made to bend or even totaly reverse a company policy if enough of the right type of pressure is applied. That leaves the question, are there enough of us that own nVida products to get them to listen. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX @ CN85sl - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
