This guy's awesome (and a very nice guy as well). Rudolf Cornelissen has updated his nVidia Driver page with the latest status of the driver. Here's what he said:

"Good news! The new driver is working fully on it's own now over here, so no more VESA mode needed. Now I need to make the driver more 'universal' so it will work also on other cards (hopefully). This means I have to setup some cardspecs for the cards, things like RAM amount detection and max. DAC speed. After that I'll test on three other cards I have here. Once the driver works on all my cards I'll release the first alpha version. Stay tuned: can't take much more time I expect... ;-)"

Great right? That was fast! A few days before he wrote:

"(...)Today for example I included detection for 85 different cards of 4 different brands. (...)

Checkout the bug report form if you are curious which cards and brands are recognized by the driver now. If you miss your card there then drop me a note, except for RIVA128(ZX) and older pre-TNT cards which will not be supported. Check Be's 'Devices' preferences panel for VGA Vendor and Card ID's: those are also used on the bugreport form."

Just great, after tackling (with great results) the Matrox driver and also the NeoMagic driver, Rudolf turned to NVidia and you can see the results, and soon test it yourself... impressive! Stay tuned as we bring you more updates.
