But once I did a re-install [not that painful since my /home is a separate volume] everything has worked extremely well: wireless, multiple displays, etc... And I'm no longer using the proprietary nVidia drivers, everything seems to be working with the Open nouveau driver - which is *SWEET*.
What I've noted is a tendency to short, less informative answers, a tendency to react defensively, deny or debate reports of difficulties and just a general level of snarkiness. I perceive this as well, but not just here. I've been a UNIX sys-admin for ~20 years and a LINUX user since kernel 0.99a. In general assitance in most forums has declined and snarkiness is up.
