Thus spake Gert Cuykens (gert.cuykens@gmail.com) [22/03/05 18:30]:
: Do the nvidia display drivers work on amd64 ?

Quite well, actually.  Just not with the binary driver supplied by nVidia.
In the meantime, you can use the open-source 'nv' driver with neither issue,
nor hardware-accelerrated 3D.

I have no clue when nVidia will be releasing a driver, so don't ask.
