Most distros if not all ship with an open source version of the nVidia driver.

Subject: Re: Nvidia setup
Which leaves me asking,
What driver is used to 'get the system running',
How to build the kmods for my kernel ( 3.10.9 AFAIK)
.. Then on, sounds good.
Can I try this with my old ati card in, on one monitor,
The nVidia on the second monitor?
Tia,
