I think it is semantics, 'support' is probably the wrong word and I think Carlos was suggesting a better word than support. How about 'tolerated' or 'works fairly well with' or even just prefaced with 'partial' support.
"We can debug problems with". is probably the thing that applies.
Not always... you know that the kernel logs when a driver such as Nvidia is loaded as being "tainted", and that the kernel devs will refuse to look at them. I had a bug closed as "invalid" because the investigator saw in the logs that the vmware kernel module was loaded, even though it was unrelated and I could reproduce the bug without it, later. It was automatic: they saw "vmware" and bug was invalid within a day. It was reopened, of course. So if you say that "We can debug problems with", you should have to clarify, because that is not always so, or not for all of you. Mind, I'm not saying you should debug and support all problems when closed source parts are involved. I understand your problems with that. However, a procedure to solve those problems with your help would be nice. Nor do I say you should link Nvidia drivers directly. I understand and accept the reasons, and find the one click install a reasonable and acceptable solution - but I claim my right to grumble a bit ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
