My current card is a Nvidia 690 w/3G of memory, so while it might be useful to have a desktop available on it, but then it would never be a fraction of what the 690 is, so might not be worth it....
Seems like no one knew how to keep systemd from switching mods into frame buffer it it could (the driver for this card just got some limited support for frame buffer stuff in 3.7, but it's pretty low level...
Most console text users have no complaints about console framebuffer text speed. The only time framebuffer text hasn't been faster than my eyes can follow has been while the CPU is running above 99% for reasons other than what I'm doing on a vtty.
The main complaint was there was no way to shut off it's flipping into frame buffer mode.
By doing so, it flipped into a mode that the card could only support a 1/3 height set of ~25 lines at the top of the screen. Nothing I did would cause it to go back.
At this point I'd really like to know how to turn off the flip into FB mode, vs. disabling support for my chipset in a special kernel build.
