The one that's out there is not an official patch. All these difficulties wouldn't happen with an Open Source friendly company. I was worried about this exact thing when I bought my new computer and I choose a Matrox G400 for this exact reason. IMO, I'd buy an NVidia card. But since they don't care for Open Source, they don't want me as a customer. []s, Roger... P.S.: On the other hand, people could make an organized initiative to promote a petition to make NVidia aware of the Open Source movement and ask thm for open drivers. Of course they are aware of Open Source, but a friendly reminder together with signatures of lots of people (among which are potential customers) is a great incentive for any company to change its mind. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rogerio Brito - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
