You could use the X server for more than a game couldn't you?
Yeah, and have a Xserver that'll possibly break when I switch to another kernel or other libraries. No thanks!
but they have traditionally given the linux community outstanding support.
What, please, do you call outstanding support? I don't want to recall the troubles I had with the Nvidia drivers. And looking at the trouble, binary only drivers have caused for SuSE, I've decided to plainly refuse to run binary only drivers if I can avoid it. Binary only apps I can live with (grudgingly), but bo drivers are just simply BAD. Even some core XFree86 developers agree that it was a bad idea to introduce the modular design, given the way vendors have abused it to create bo xfree modules.
I heard so much about the ATI community support, and yet I could never get any to work worth a damn.
Oh, my Radeon 7500 @work is running beautifully without a problem. Philipp -- Philipp Thomas work: pthomas@suse.de Development SuSE Linux AG private: pth@t-link.de
