This change in the kernel has shown that some drivers could have possibly gotten bigger than the previous limit anyway, an many fixes have been applyed to the kernel, this will hopefully bring a higher level of stablity. Myself I use the nv driver and the nvidia driver on my boxes, the nv driver is slow and doesnt accelerate, but it doesnt lock up, on the other hand the nvidia driver is fast, had great 3d acceleration, and randomly deadlocks my box! Since this driver is using over 4K of stack space, when nvidia fixes this, my assumption is that the driver will be more stable. <rant> This is not really different than any other OS vendor. I remember upgrading a service pack on my windows box once, and my old video drivers no longer worked, I had to upgrade to the newest version, which the vendor released a few days after the service pack came out. Tell Nvidia to release a new driver. If nvidia releases a crappy driver for linux and a good driver for windows, linux will look crappy, demand the best. </rant> Peter
