    nvidia-settings -l in autostart?

    "Is there anything you would like to see in their driver short of a full open-source strategy?"

    Uh, how about the xrandr 1.2 support they have been promising us for years now? Heck, any sort of working user-level GUI for configuring monitors would be nice. Their current tools do not even remember their settings between sessions, so they are essentially useless without editing your xorg.conf file, which requires root privileges and most Linux distros nowadays don't even use xorg.conf.

    How about optimus support? Many, if not most, upcoming laptops ship with graphics cards that cannot be used under Linux because they rely on optimus, while Nvidia has said they have no plans to support optimus under Linux.

    How about fixing their problems with pixmaps? Nvidia's proprietary driver is the only one that has problems with software creating a lot of pixmaps.

    How about kernel mode setting? Or anything else needed to get wayland working. On the software side a lot of work is going into getting ready for it, but Nvidia seems to be totally ignoring it.
