Rick,

Because the nVIDIA does not work for you doesn't mean it does not work..

I have been using the nVIDIA driver since i installed pre 3.1(the 
beta's) and have not had any issues...so please.... do not state that is 
does not work...it does.  You may have problems on your side...but you 
can't generalise and say that it does not work.  Take a poll and see how 
many people have it working.
