NVidia's behavior with their drivers and Fedora's bugs are two separate issues and should be handled as such. So fix the bug. ...And then separately express displeasure with NVidia's behavior and keep the pressure on them, in a positive and professional way, to change their policy. </opinion> Cheers, Chris -- ==================================== "If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' someone else's dog around." --Cowboy Wisdom
