> Use open drivers - a default choice for most users
2 apienk: who says that? any statistics? visual effects don't work without proprietary drivers, the whole GUI experience using 'nouveau' is abhorrent.
of course I tried 'nouveau', and I can surely say that it's lame. it's not just eye-candy that I'm talking about - many apps need normal video support, and 'nouveau' just isn't up to the task. the only thing 'nouveau' really does is the splash screen, whereas the proprietary driver does the rest, except the splash.
I wish someone bridged the gap...
