Well, we can certainly blame them for being clueless. '"It's so hard to write a graphics driver that open-sourcing it would not help," said Andrew Fear, Nvidia's software product manager.' http://news.zdnet.com/2100-3513_22-6061491.html And please note that we're not asking for an open-source driver.

Last I heard, NVidia was responsible (or was paying the person responsible) for maintaining the nv driver. So they're actually responisible for that, too. > Also, NVIDIA does not support Fedora Core 5.

Which is exactly why they should publish hardware specs and let the distributions (well, the X.org developers) handle the problem themselves.
