i should point out that this only matters to me because: a) while i do most of my gaming on a windows box i built out of spare parts, i still play some games on linux, either native games or using wine. b) vdpau video acceleration for mythtv (and smplayer etc). if i didn't need those two things then either nouveau or the free radeon driver would be more than adequate for a desktop machine. my cheap laptop has an AMD cpu and runs the free radeon driver...i've tried running the myth client on it and it's unwatchable, the motion is jerky and irritating like stop-motion animation. OTOH, it plays some steam linux games quite well. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
