Hmmm. I have three machines running Nvidia GeForce cards (various
rev levels) and Intrepid 8.10RC. All are working correctly. They're
running the AMD64 install if that makes any difference. I had issues
with them during the Alpha 6 and Beta 1 time frame, solved by doing
a recovery start, forcing an X config "fix", and then reapplying the
proprietary drivers after a successful reboot.
