I view the GPL, all offshoots of it, and everyone involved with the mess it has created, as just a very small part of the next generation of petty dictators, read "idiots" or in Alexander Pope's still relevant terminology "dunces", in the world. By proprietary driver do you mean the one on NVidia's web site ? If not, could you post a link I can use to get the correct NVidia driver for the 6200 card which works with CentOS 4.4. Thanks !
