OK, who manufactures a video card who actually supports properly what
they make, then?  Cause it sure isn't nVidia, and it sounds like it's

*Bad* though the situation is improving slowly.  What really needs to
happen is nVidia and ATI to get their heads out of their asses and GPL
their drivers already.  I mean, what is it they like about
