Needs kernel support (nvdrm is probably what we'd call the driver).
I tried to port that june 2008, that almost drove me insane and i've not
looked back at it since. Things may well have improved since then.
as always, I accept diffs. Frankly, i detest nvidia as a company enough
that they're right down at the the absolute bottom of my todo list. And
if the driver doesn't do proper memory management, then they're already
off the list until they do that (I have not checked this, i am grabbing
their kernel tree now to have a quick look).
