A lot cheaper than upgrading my video card, too -- they only sell
the video card I need when you buy the whole laptop!

I just updated from xorg-server-1.9 to 1.10, but even the newest beta from nvidia
complains that 1.10 isn't supported yet for my video cards GeForce FX 5200 and
GeForce 6150SE.
Perhaps drivers for newer cards will work, but I don't know.
The good old nv driver still works with 1.10, happily.

Yes, a few months ago, but I had the same problem with slow bug-fixes for the
older chipsets like mine. The drivers worked well about 90% of the time and
were unusable the other 10%. I reverted to xorg 1.95 and all is good again :)
