Description of problem:

graphic drivers...

Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:
Would like to have NVidia or ATI or similar graphics drivers included in 
Kernal.  Also, would like to see kernal more modular - able to add or delete 
drivers without having to recompile it.  This is such a powerful OS, yet it 
still uses ancient technologies...

There is nothing we can do with binary drivers.  Only NVIDIA/ATI have the source
to those.
