Lee always is *very* supportive and spends lots of time helping others. I think it's absolutely OK if he asks not to use binary modules. For sure there are various good reasons for not using the binary drivers. It's absolutely OK if he says "If you use the binary drivers don't expect too much help". Just to clarify: I for myself have used the nvidia driver for a long time :) . Best regards ce
