jackalope alpha 3 - no more proprietary nvidia drivers

[David Tremblay]

proprietary drivers won't be in jaunty but if you absolutely need them,
nvidia will still provide them. nvidia  cards are going to be supported
through the nv or vesa driver. It's up to you to download and install them
(although not as easy as clicking " yes I want to use that driver"' tho
