If you go grieff, then go visit http://utah-glx.sourceforge.net/ and help out. Make the drivers better then the nvidia ones (ya right!) so they will be forced to use your code on other paltforms (and then nvidia would be forced to use it, and thus open up their code). I'll see you in two years, when you fully complete the drivers? Ok, bye.
