Or maybe they are already using them, but I don't know it (but I believe I couldn't get the tools to recognize that they were being used). My understanding is that using the correct framebuffer drivers is as good, if not better than using the official nvidia ones. But as I don't believe I have had the opportunity to do so, I can't really say.
