Nvidia does not work and so far and there is nothing that indicates it will work in the near future.

Truly a bummer! Given the large number of nVidia card users there are, I
would think this should be more of a priority. Please don't let this
turn into a philosophical discussion (aka a flame fest) on nVidia vs.
others. A lot of people use nVidia cards - we need to deal with that and
respond to the end user population accordingly...

Not philosophical. Just a matter of not having the source code to fix the proprietary drivers. However the reverse engineering effort can yield some results albeit in a delayed manner. Refer Rahul


If I append "vga=0x318" to my kernel options in menu.lst for example, i can see the nice plymouth effects (GeForce 8500 GTS) So would it hurt if we would add this option as the default in grub as a (temporary) workaround? Are there cards that don't scale well with "vga=0x318" ?
