If you have the source code, then someone can fix it. Unlike closed source stuff, where there is a single source of "fixes", i.e. the original vendor, with open source code anyone can fix it. No worries about last year's model of card X being dropped due to an arbitrary corporate decision or other reasons like that. The "someone" doesn't have to be you and it doesn't have to be me. But I would rather depend on a whole community of coders for my fixes than one corporation who may decide that there isn't enough money in it. With Intel graphics, I can install my Linux operating system and have it work right out of the box. I recommend that everyone stay far far away from ATI and Nvidia, personally. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
