Hmmm. Am I to understand that the OSS support is good enough to allow for bootup on one of these boards before installing the nvidia driver? I assume this is the case as how could one even use the board and install the nvidia driver if one can't at least boot up and, to some extent, use the HDDs, video, etc? praedor - -- The First Amendment rests on the assumption that the widest possible dissemination of information from diverse and antagonistic sources is essential to the welfare of the public. - --Justice Hugo Black GnuPG fingerprint: D170 2A02 B426 6AA0 5E68 3EDC 68AA FDB0 961E 4F18 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+6a4haKr9sJYeTxgRAi1UAKCcjxQbvPoiryTYzMzYGJFqXphIhQCfRK3Y 8QPBh5zb+ChQoCKYBQsd+44= =aUe8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
