running a lovely ATI Radeon 8500 with two monitors in Big Screen mode so 
I get a 2048x768 screen and using my Miro PC/TV for gnome-meeting/video 
capture but waiting to change my motherboard to another one that does 
not use a chipset from VIA so that I can get my DC10 board working and 
ignoring posts from Rui after my first encounter with him since he is 
decidedly taking an extreme stand on this sort of thing (GPL or not for 
any software, driver or not)

Oh...Nvidia!!..hey, I run their drivers no problemo on my work machine 
RH9 + 2.6.x kernel for my TNT2 card :P

What's the problem again?
