Neither do/did i. I just said "Well, that's a problem.". The problem starts with, the user cant file a bug report, because it gets most likely (if not for sure) closed due to the fact he runs the closed source driver. I know that as a Bugzapper. We even have a button to close such bugreports. I did run long enough the propietary fglrx driver. So i know it's a problem to run closed source drivers. Thank god this is over since F-12 and the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental. And it will be over for nvidia users as well, beginning with F-13. -- LG Thomas Dubium sapientiae initium
