I am nick admin of NEOFORTS.com. I have bought only NVIDIA cards spending over $500 because of nvidia offering better linux support. My next cards will be ati/amd because amd is committed to opoen source. Until nvidia matches amd, I will be forced to buy amd graphics cards from now on. Sorry, this isn't personal this is business. --nick
Eagerly awaiting NVIDIA's response.
Yes, for the love of god please do so.
If you could just provide proper hardware specs and open programming documentation -- not necessarily algorithms and other sensitive IP -- it would REALLY help out. Thank you for your consideration.
Until there is a more open (preferably completely open) driver, or publicly available documentation I will not by a video card with an nVidia chip, or a motherboard with an nVidia chipset.
You know what you have to do ;-)
yes please
What are you waiting for?
please, I really need to use a video card on my computers :)
Please open the source so that NVidia can be used on Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc.
I have an nvidia card in my laptop I wish you guys at Nvidia would recognize us Linux users.
Would be great to have all my graphics card's features 'working out of the box' with Linux
Please.
I've been using Nvidia cards since the Riva 128 line. It would be great to maintain this customer loyalty through free software via Linux. Thanks.
FOSS FTW.
Please help moving the Free Software forward.
Even though I don't use nVidia, I support an open source initiative for all hardware and software where it legally can be.
:)
I would love to keep using your products... it's up to you!
Please open source the drivers.
I am one with the this initiative of convincing NVIDIA to release to the open source world the documentation needed for open source drivers of their hardware.It's for the good of everybody! =)
do it
I really like to see a Nvidia driver for linux, please, help us
Free the drivers to promote innovation!!
Please open driver...
NVIDIA drivers free!
the right choise!
open open open .. is the future
come on nVidia
Please, pay attention to this request. Thankyou
Ho due schede nvidia e spero tanto di poter utilizzare in futuro driver liberi per esser coerente con la filosofia del Free Software
You have better support than ATI that is why i buy your cards. But cmon lets go one better hey ?
The lack of a free driver makes it difficult for me to buy or recommend nvidia graphics hardware. Open the driver so that we can get a good out-of-the-box experience!
Italians want open-source driver too!!!
Free as in Freedom
Open the drivers!
I've been used nvidia graphics for several years under Windows platform. Recently (1 year ago), I replaced my OS by Ubuntu linux and now I'm very happy with this decision. The only problem I've encountered has been the support for my nvidia 7200 GS card. I expect to replace my computer next april. Due to the fact that ATI probably will publish the source code of their drivers, I cannot ensure that my next graphic card would be nvidia. I will be very pleased to continue experiencing the high quality graphics acceleration of nvidia if you make the decision to develop an open-source strategy for your graphic products.
