for it? After all, Nvidia is getting profit for selling the
hardware. They are also the people that know what is in the driver.
Why should someone else be expected to provide support if Nvadia
isn't willing to provide the source for their driver, or at least
the information needed so someone else can create an open source driver?
Per the original poster, it isn't Nvidia's driver that is broken, it is the one included in the distribution.
Supplying, or at least documenting the procedure to get the working version isn't about 'supporting' Nvidia, it is about supporting fedora users and providing something that works for them. It seems odd for that to be such a controversial topic.
