Be carefull what you wish for. The Radeon works on amd64 because the
driver is open source and a couple of us were able to dive into the code
and fix it (it had a small 32-bit-ness issue). If your binary-only
Nvidia driver breaks you have to wait for nvidia to release a fix.

Encouraging binary drivers is like building a skyscraper on
quicksand. IMHO it's better to do business with people who are willing
to release documentation.
