Now, do you tell them, "NVIDIA sucks, go buy a different > card." Or, do you tell them how to install the driver? I can tell you what I've already done: I pointed a local man to an inexpensive card (just under $60) that does 3-D graphics well and works with the latest XFree86 out of the box, then I explained to him why software freedom is important (and thus why I'm recommending he steers clear of any hardware, no matter who the manufacturer is, that can't be operated with non-free software). He took my advice, bought a suitable video card and is now enjoying playing 3D games like Armagetron, Tux Racer, and 2D games including Frozen Bubble. My experience is that a lack of software freedom is quite impractical.
