 From what I have seen there is good interaction between the X.org group 
and NVIDIA so I am not losing any sleep over the lack of collaboration. 
I'm sure if the suits at NVIDIA could be convinced they wouldn't lose 
money from producing an open source driver, we would have one.

P.S. Good discussion, Christopher. I agree with all of your points.

P.P.S. The X group also helped fix a VBE bug in F14 that affected many 
projects, including VirtualBox. Some debugging that helped pinpoint the 
issue came from Frank @ Sun (Oracle).
