Hi people,
I'm just wondering why the Linux group prefers the livna kmod-nvidia driver for Linux over nVidias downloadable driver?

Is it because linva offers kernel specific versions? with smp?

Just curious, not trying to start a war here ;-)

What was stated (or something close to the words) by some that work with the X server is that NVidia installer version will overwrite files from the Mesa package or put it in a location which is not the norm. The Livna version of the drivers are supposed to place the files in the appropriate place and not overwrite mesa libraries and other packages files.
