There was actually a problem with xorg and pci-express cards, and that has been fixed now. Since it looks like nvidia dosn't really wan't to support amd64 (which pisses me off, but hey what can I do..?), I was forced to put this system onto gentoo-linux to get everything up on x86_64. My playground machine on linux, I can live with untill nvidia understands the real need for such a driver. Keep sending driver-requests to the nvidia forum, hopefully they will make the driver to stop us nag'ing on about it :P (Like stated in the forum, the people requesting it is probably below 1% of the users in need of this driver (or who will be)) Have a nice summer folks!
