Nope... don't really play games...

The nv driver gets rather flakey at anything more than 1024 on 
my old GeForce 2, much more stable with the nvidia one...

plus it gives considerably better quality when watching dvds and
videos...

Considering I'm not GPL anal I'm not really upset about it at all...
Sure, it may mot be the most super duper situatation, but fekit 
its a lot better than not having it...
