agree, but even better, switch hardware....
wonder why anyone is really buying crap from hardware manufacturers that dont really fully support the idea behind the os community. dont buy stuff that only gets supported in a crippled or "abnormal" way.
consumers have the real power to change things, only very few of them realize this.
This is not the place to post flames about certain hardware manufacturers, but since the ball is rolling... Nvidia happens to be the only viable alternative if you want hardware accelerated OpenGL in AMD64 Linux. If you think it is wrong to use Nvidia products, be my guest and choose something else. All other that want high-end hardware accelerated graphics with their high end Linux workstation will continue to use Nvidia products, that also happen to work quite well. Just my €0.02. /Peter
