But that statement is a bit generic and "unfair" :-)
KMS and your card may work perfectly with another distribution (or
another kernel or another xorg version or...). I mean, maybe you should
comment the concrete distribution your are running and also which kernel
and xorg version so your readers don't get a wrong impression of the
current status for the mentioned items.
P.S. Nice color selection for your blog! Very pleasant, clean and
readable.
