If you want hold your desktop ransom to a large binary piece of software, I'm sure Microsoft will sell you an OS more suited to your needs. Fedora is about having an open distro and we are *never* going to expend time or effort to support a binary driver. I say this as the co-maintainer of X.org for Fedora. Fedora is not ajax's or mine primary reason for being paid, we really wish it was. However even if Fedora was the only thing I was scheduled to work on, I would still not expend even one small shred of effort to support a binary driver running on this OS. You buy hardware with closed source you now get to keep both bits. unsure if I can clarify this any better.
