i use it but i wouldnt worry so much about it being in archie myself
i think a live enviroment isnt where a lot of people are gonna be concerned with getting all the benefits of using the nvidia driver . to me a live distro is for showing others how easy running linux can be & recover a borked install.
thats just my thought on it though
To be honest, as you say, I have to wonder how worthwhile it is to install any "proper" drivers - can't people just use the drivers included in the kernel? You may not get fancy GL stuff but it is a live-cd!
Still, it's about choice, so I have created the Archie specific packages and the script that makes them all work. Now I just need to rejig the implementation after the "pacman install on the fly" method was found to max out the swap on my system when running qemu!
At least this way people could, in theory, run GL demos now

]]>Sure 3d performance won't be there, but aside from that I don't understand where the problem would be.
Also lets keep in mind this is Archie, not the entire ArchLinux distro.
I personally don't use them (so I admit my response is a bit biased) but I don't quite see where the problem would come in.

I dunno if that helps anyone

Do vote no if you do not as a % audience would be good to know!
