I am completely in favor of Debian packages for this stuff, espcially
since the 6111 driver did not install on Debian/amd64, but by the way
I'll point out that the 6629 driver installs and runs perfectly* on my
amd64 system with GeforceFX card. So it seems NVidia are making some
progress, no surprise given their recent statement that 20% of their
wkstn shipments are for Linux, and undoubtedly many of those are going
in Opteron machines.
