Hee, can't resist, loved this reply... :)

For the record, I just sat down in front of my appletv, which I've now got 
running Fedora 9. Its got a GeForce 7300 or so equivalent in it. With a tiny 
bit of effort (much less than was put into all this stupid bitching and 
blaming ajax and airlied for for breaking everything), I have the latest 
nvidia beta driver powering a display just fine, thank you.
