Guys,
yet another point. We should consider that many people already HAS some
kind of NVidia hardware and doesn't plan to change their well-tested video
card.
As such, all discussions about ATI c00lness are pretty good but fairly
useless -- I have 45 machines with NVidia Riva TNT2 and doesn't plan to
upgrade/change my hardware.
I think that developing DRI-compatible (or even compatible with itself
throught wall outlet) driver for NVidia video cards is very good initiative.
Although reverse engeneering (thing that this thread has begun from) is
very complicated and time-consuming process, if NVidia doesn't wish to
collaborate with software developers, it should be done.
Am I right? Or not?
Andrew.
