Binary "supported" Linux driver sucks. You can see all the troubles that video adapter binary video drivers do. I'm suffering for about one year expecting a driver that works fine on my notebook (an AMD/ATI X1125). The manufacturers generally don't release specs for the FOSS to develop 3D drivers, and provide instead binary only drivers that is a source of all kind of headaches for the users. So, you have two choices: a) a good FOSS driver that works fine, well integrated with Xorg, but lacks several interesting stuff (like 3D); b) a broken proprietary binary driver that provides all resources, but are hard to install, require recompiling kernel every time you change kernel version, and generates all kind of troubles when running including miscellaneous faults at the applications. I really don't want this kind of troubles at the subsystem. Stoth, I'd like to thank you and Hauppauge for all support you're giving to the FOSS community.
