There are *six* clicks needed to save settings (ineffectively) as default: 1. click "accept" 2. click "really accept" 3. click "save as default" 4. click an additional "save as default" 5. click "really save as default" 6. click "I know you saved it as default" Isn't that a little much? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This *WAS* the nouveau driver. The nVIDIA supplied driver (once you've managed to be able to compile the thing) works just fine. I will *NOT* support (by using) something that is *BROKEN*. The nouveau driver is not ready for prime time. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
