If driver is bad and part of the kernel than it will crash whole system (are you old enough to remember BSOD times). To make use of such driver someone has to debug it. Do you think that any of hardware vendors will ever try to ask MS to debug device drivers without giving technical specs and source code?
Uhhh your point is valid however..... in 10.1, in trying to use the radeon driver built by the kernel developers (I would assume since it was distributed with 10.1), the driver hung my entire system everytime it switched into graphics. So why am I better off using all non-foreign code?? Code is code.... and it works or it doesn't. Gee, maybe we need a "Linux Certified" sticker to put on any non-gpl code and then we can use it. :-) -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
