You just add the nVidia or ATI repositories and install the video drives. Everyone calls the nVidia and ATI proprietary drives the binary drivers because the vendors do not release the source code, only precompiled binaries.

ATI is doing a better job of supporting their video chips in Linux that Nvidia.
Not really. nvidia drivers are usually available on the same day a new card is released, and they are of a very high quality. ATI drivers on the other hand are much slower to be released, sometimes up to six months I hope it will get better with the release of the specs for the ATI cards, but as long as we're talking about the proprietary drivers there is no competition: nvidia wins and ATI didn't even make it out of the gate Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
