I don't get it. For me, nVidia has been working best with linux, including SUSE. I'm talking desktops, but still, nVidia's drivers (proprietary) are super stable.
Don't get confused, developing proprietary drivers *is* supporting linux.
We all wish opensource drivers, but proprietary drivers that work is a lot better than opensource ones that don't.
Yes, but they are not an option when you wish to keep your kernel untainted so that your bug reports will be accepted.
Good point.
I applaud nouveau, but it's still not stable enough for me.
The start of this thread had nothing to do with the closed-source drivers. They cannot be distributed with openSUSE's installation media, thus they will never be available at installation time. The whole idea is to get a user's sysem up and running, and then let them decide if they need better graphics performance.
I never had any problem with the low-performance vesa driver during install. The problem is with the live CD. It really needs a working, performance setup. I always use it to check if the distro works with my hardware. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
