just do it:)
Es necesario todo esto. Ya que aunque no soy un novato en linux. Me ha costado horrores conseguir que funcione el driver privado, asi que la proxima vez comprare un ordenador con AMD. Si la cosa no cambia.
Please, do it :)
Heyhey
I hope it'll be true - "Linux + Nvidia = Enjoy".
I just started using Linux Ubuntu myself and am really loving it. As a game developer i'd love the use of nvidia drivers to port our upcoming mmorpg game to the linux world. we're all about open source when we can use it. Consider this signed.
I agree with this open letter. (aside from "Intellectual Property" being a horrible word intended to confuse the real issue of trademark, patent, and copyright law.)
I've always thought of nVidia beeing "more open source" than AMD/ATI because of the better support of graphic cards on Linux. But it seems that times are changing. Would be great if you would open up some parts of the driver!
Open Source is our future
Pour que mon pc soit enfin 100% libre :-D Please do it !
Please open up your drivers. I am a long time nvidia customer. I purchased your hardware because of better linux support.
yes
Uttar! This one is for you!
рурун!
Welcome to Open Source. Feel the love.
FreeDom!
The way is nVidia, but who wants to walk when you can fly? Go, nVidia! Teach us what you can do for the open source community, we also spend money on your chipsets, of course...
Good Idea
it will be great thing
I've been using nvidia for so long i cann't wait any more.
open source drivers is only need
Give us a freedom!
^_^
Open Source drivers please! This will bring more benefit to both nVidia and Linux!
Open-source it guys!
Better graphics support in linux would be a really gr8 thing. Please anyone concerned please take note of this letter
I using Nvidia products several years under Gentoo Linux. But my happiness isn't full without full featured opensource drivers.
Canada Quebec Supporter le logiciel libre S.V.P. Support free software please !
Its time to step up to bat Nvidia, unless you want to strike out the future of you company.
nvdia Driver Open Source now!!!
I really hope to see someday open nvidia drivers
i think that it will be a very good idea to open your code and let the open source community help you to make a good work. i hope that you'll listen to our request ...
NVIDIA Corporation, We the GNU/Linux community and the undersigned, kindly request that you, NVIDIA Corporation, increase your efforts in better enabling the open-source community to develop free software drivers for your graphics hardware. Your major competitors in this market, AMD/ATI and Intel, have not only supported the community in open-source driver development efforts but they are now openly releasing hardware programming documentation. While we are grateful that your company provides one of the best closed-source graphics drivers for Linux, it is not without its problems and prevents many users from having a truly free software platform. You have shown an open-source passion in the past when dropping the nforce-net binary blob in favor of the community-spawned forcedeth driver for Ethernet support on your motherboard chipsets. There has been a rumor that you may be developing an open-source strategy for your graphics products, so if that is the case please let us know your true intentions. Even if you were only able to open a subset of your Linux driver, this still would show a sign of solidarity to the free software world. We stand united under the name OpenTheBlob.com, but realize that legally it may be next to impossible to open-source the binary portion of your graphics driver due to patents and preserving some intellectual property in this competitive market. What we are, however, asking you for is to support the open-source community to the fullest extent possible. The open-source "nv" driver that you provide for X is an abhorrent disaster that is limited to 2D acceleration and doesn't come without its share of limitations and shrouded code. We look to NVIDIA for providing concise programming documentation to willing open-source developers that is not encumbered by Non-Disclosure Agreements or other legal restrictions. There is an interested group of developers at hand that are willing to contribute towards an open 3D NVIDIA driver. The Nouveau developers are committed to these free software ideals to the extent that they have spent years reverse engineering your hardware without ever receiving any funds for this immense work, but rely upon community donations. An official open-source driver could complement your binary driver, in order to provide a better "out of the box" experience on many Linux distributions and satisfying the customers -- including corporate clients -- who mandate open-source software. In a steadfast manner, we request knowing your true commitment to the GNU/Linux and open-source communities. For everyday that you stand by idle, your competitors are continuing to refine their open-source drivers and pushing out more documentation that is better enabling the open-source community. Please let us know what is going on and join the open-source community in this effort. Sincerely, The Undersigned February 29, 2008
la liberte de choisir
Free drivers can create more inovations.
I love linux but I'm still reluctant to switch because of graphic card drivers. Nowadays Linux is a serious alternative to windows, Nvidia should take that alternative into account if they want to remain the leader in the years to come
Open source
Nvidia is great, would be greater when open source!
It's all about freedom to use the operating system that we choose. We would love to see everyone help to make GNU/Linux easier to use. Please help us and help ALL of us to have a greater choice.
I've always used nVidia because of the better Linux driver support. Once the open-source ATI drivers are usable, I'll probably switch unless there are good open-source nVidia drivers, too.
good linux and nvidia
Please, Do iT!!!!
Por favor, necesitamos drivers mas completos. La verdad quiero actualizar mi pc con todo el hardware, mi tarjeta de video es nvidia, pero no se si sera mejor una ATI, porque yo me manejo con Linux, no con Windows. Esta en ustedes, por favor, controladores mas capaces.
Please give us open source drivers as it will help to improve the quality of your hardware in different environments.
Beautiful, give us NVIDIA Linux Open-Source! My company wants it!
NVIDIA, you owe it to your customers

STANDARTS = NVIDIA!
Nvidia corp., you've done good work til now, but today, that's not enough anymore. We all need and want free and open source drivers. Please, help us, you CAN do it. It's not so difficult.
