The 'taint' message is normal; it means the Nvidia kernel module |
| 12 |
source is closed, so the Linux folk won't help you if your kernel |
| 13 |
gives you problems. |

I personally use the nv driver that comes with X.org, mainly because |
| 16 |
X.org upgrades don't break it and I don't do much 3-D, but have found |
| 17 |
that it is best not to have any of the Nvidia stuff installed at the |
| 18 |
same time or X.org gets confused. |
