Lee wasn't suggesting you drop your use of nvidia.... he was suggesting that if you want proprietary video drivers, and you're dissatisfied with your machine's realtime performance, you're either going to have to lobby nvidia (or ati) to make their stuff work with realtime kernels, since they have access to their code and the kernel guys don't, or you're going to have to suck it up. I remember having to turn down my graphics acceleration settings to reduce xruns in my distant Windows past, so it's not like the situation is unique to free software. Rob
