I'm not sure if you saw my posting to question@freebsd.org but with the announcement of A|W porting Maya v3.0 to Linux, and the expected slew of related applications that will follow, we need the driver support from Nvidia ESPECIALLY when considering their recent push towards workstation solutions (quadro2 line.) Are there many high end cards which require more than an Xserver and/or driver which may already be available?
