I agree. There are also blind folks out there who run their computers with no monitor connected, which in 
many cases causessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss xorg to load a vesa/dummy driver, or not 
enable 3D for some reason, forcing the use of 2D. And yes, as has been raised, there is the proprietary 
driver issue. Nouveau 3D support works for some cards, but is still rather experimental, and does make NVIDIA 
cards run hot. However, I do believe that Ubiquity now allows you to install the NVIDIA drivers during 
installation, so this helps somewhat.
