If you will accept this I will prepare testing version including DKMS package (I take it we do not yet have one?) --
This DKMS package will be usefull for the ATI Catalyst driver?
Because the trend is that Nvidia disappears from the desktop, because on one hand almost no manufacturer is actually using Nvidia/Nforce chipset, and on the other hand, as Intel and AMD are incorporating the GPU within the microprocessor. Only the gamers adding a video card for high performance gaming, and of them, most prefer the ATI video cards.
Nvidia's future appears quite dark.
Sounds quite offtopic, but from someone that develops GPU-intensive games, nVidia's OpenGL drivers are far more mature than ATI's, crash a lot less when strained, and are a lot more robust regarding shader capabilities. For development, I prefer nVidia every time. However, a DKMS for ATI's Catalyst would indeed be quite useful. We get tons of bug reports for ATI that sound like ATI open source drivers issues, and we can't easily tell people to test with Catalyst since installing it is not for newbies. This really hurts bug hunting. Having it as a package would help a lot there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
