Please let the community help you and themselves. Provide documentation. Compete on features and quality, not on drivers which cost you money to develop and maintain.
Yes Please release OS
I have purchased only nvidia cards for years, and we have been replacing company cards with them now as well, I vow to discontinue this practice unless driver spec are opened, and in turn I will buy only ATI cards and suffer the consequences for that.
It would a be a great opportunity. You could only stand to gain from joining the competition. The alternative is to lose business to the open source friendly corporations.
The Linux community wants to help! NVIDIA please help us out so we can help every user across the world out.
i always loved nvidia products and better linux open source drivers would be really appreciated
Embrace the community Nvidia :D
Open them up! I'm buying a new computer in a month or so and this would push me towards NVIDIA
DO IT ALREADY!!!!
Information WANTS to be free
I use an nVidia graphics card with ubuntu and would really appreciate open-source drivers and open documentation on the hardware. Many thnaks, Dave
I can't wait to see this happen, I will be so happy.
Three cheers for fresh air. And OSS.
Please do.
I am personally much more likely to buy or recommend nvidia cards if nvidia puts more support behind developing free software drivers.
Competition is good.
Knowledge is freedom, never forget.
I have hundreds of machines with nVidia cards and motherboards that I would love to see out of the box kernel support for. I currently have to build the nVidia module so that people can utilize their desktops properly (vs. nv driver). Any movement to get the nVidia code into the linux kernel would be a great evolution and contribution.
I have been a Die hard Nvidia fan since i got my first Geforce Mx 2. I have never owned anohter brand of video card since. I just recently started using Ubuntu and see how important it i that we have open driver. I dont want to use ATI, infact i despise them, but i mgiht have to unless you guys come around.
Would be wonderful to see. Even if they release specs, they can still be competitive in the design of the hardware and thus still be able to make plenty of money.
Open source for the win.
Please make the whole process of using your product less demanding
I support this whole-heartedly
Please :) Be Open..
nVidia please be my wonderful savior and start releasing Drivers for the OSS community.
lets play opensource ball nv
NVidia support for linux/unix operating systems has been excellent. However, this is still a far cry from opening up and letting the developer community at large unleash the power of Nvidia devices.
Don't be an outcast Nvidia, Just do it! Help us all by taking a step away from Windows.
do it damnit
I love the hardware, lets make it work perfectly on everything!
Open drivers will open your bisness to grater sales due to many people using linux backup or old machines
NV is a terrible driver, and I'd love to have a decent open-source NVIDIA driver.
Please please. I love your cards just not the linux performance
Information wants to be free!
Open is better please, we'll still buy your hardware, I promise :-)
Open-Source is Power!
As a huge fan of nVidia, I would love for this to happen.
I would love a XEN happy Geforce Driver! Opening it up would allow this to take place!
Yeah, why the heck not, Nvidia?
Nvidia, please...
For the love of linux PLEASE!!! we spend lots of $$ buying your product. It would be nice to get full use out ot it.
Yes please!

I have always used Nvidia in the past. Tried ATI once and was disappointed. I'm looking for a new video card and if you plan to open source the driver it will make my decision much easier.

Thanks for your great Linux support! Please continue and improve your products and services for a thriving and growing community.
This is just something that has to be done.
Please release your drivers to the open source community! If you don't, you will drive many people into Intel/ATI's arms. I have always considered Nvidia to be the superior card, and I would hate to switch over driver issues!
Right now the blob is a very good implementation but the problem lies in integration with upcoming projects like kernel-setting-mode, xorg extensions, etc. So technically is a need and politically is correct so NVIDIA please publish GPU (and other hardware) specs documentation without NDA constraints.
I have an HP Laptop with an NVIDIA card.
no open source drivers is the reason i buy ATI over nVidia.
Please open the drivers and enable REAL linux support.
