Are you sure? I don't know but i've literally seen tons of complaints.
It scared me away and i just stick with my old g400.
I am just judging from reports on LKML. There seem to be a LOT of
people using this driver successfully. The consensus on LKML seems to
be that the Nvidia driver is of high quality. The Nvidia folks really
seem to stay on top of kernel development, and the driver usually works
with the latest
kernel.org kernel, unlike some vendors who build one
module for one kernel version and claim to "support Linux" because it
works with RH9 or something equally ancient.
We're running NVIDIA graphics cards and the NVIDIA driver on over 100
systems where I work (because no other card/driver combination can do 3D
as well - using IVS Fledermaus). Almost all of these systems are SMP,
most are state of the art. We have little to no problems with the
drivers.
