True...But its easier to install than that Nvidia :-). Especially under
2.4 kernel.

Now that 3Dfx is no more I very much doubt that it will ever be fixed.
Lets hope Nvidia actually take this seriously. I believe they do as you
can find there Linux drivers directly on there website, not under
www.opensource.nvidia.com or something to that effect (like they had
better hide it from the rest of the world).

On another topic I have been informed that linuxgames.com has a fix for
NVidia drivers under Apollo chipset. Checking ti out now....
