How well are NVIDIA cards supported in grml_2010.04?
I saw that NVIDIA binary kernel modules are compiled up to nvidia-kernel-2.6.31-grml64, not to 2.6.33 that grml_2010.04 uses.
The opensource drivers of nvidia (nouveau) are kind of special those days. The tight combination of kernel with userspace is a very sucky situation. :-/
I don't want to waste too much time with providing the *-driver packages for the binary kernel modules and therefore users should grab the according kernel-source packages whenever they want them and just build the kernel modules against linux-headers-2.6.33-grml[64] using module-assistant on their own.
