	nVidia, at least, is aware of the issue and has offered to
write and maintain drivers ... provided certain capabilities are
added to the kernel.  (See previous discussion in this mailing list.)
	This has - obviously - not happened, and I do not know of work
in progress.
	I do agree that the first vendor to provide working drivers
will make quite a few sales.  (Me among them.)
