BTW, the current maintainer of the nvidia-glx drivers wants to step 
down. Anyone interested in taking it over? Please send me a mail 
privately. I'd prefer if a group of at least two people could maintain 
the drivers because it's a lot of frustrating work. I'm willing to lend 
a helping hand in the beginning.

Arjan (or dwmw2 (or anyone interested in this topic)), if you read this: 
Feel free to send a detailed and public warning in reply to this mail 
why these drivers are bad, illegal and why one should not touch them. 
For those interested in some details look at

http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2006/linuxsymposium_procv1.pdf (pages 19 
up to 26)

I should have never touched this crap.

BTW, mharris please update to Xorg 7.1 as soon as you can ;-)
