Zero of the drivers are "certified to be error free". And we give no warranty that we will fix every single bug that every single user discovers either. If we were to make such commitments, we would probably throw out all of the drivers except for "radeon". >| Not that I don't want to help, just that it isn't reasonable to >| ask a volunteer to help, and expect them to go searching for the >| details on a search engine or poking through mailing list >Thread starts here >https://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-install-list/2004-February/thread.html#00068 > >Usefull messages >http://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-install-list/2004-February/msg00068.html >http://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-install-list/2004-February/msg00115.html >http://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-install-list/2004-February/msg00129.html >http://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-install-list/2004-February/msg00162.html >http://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-install-list/2004-February/msg00179.html >http://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-install-list/2004-February/msg00207.html > >| archives or whatnot. Seriously though, if someone wants my help, Again, I am a busy person and have many priorities that are of a much higher magnitude than searching through random list postings to try to help someone who according to you, sounds like they're too busy to be bothered anyway. Any help I give on this, or any other mailing list, isn't my _job_, it is volunteerism, like anyone else. -- Mike A.
