Noveau support is just as flaky and so my only option is "hey, just stop using video acceleration", which, amongst other things, makes video conferencing impossible. So I'm not going to cite Linus'es opinions on Nvidia verbatim here, but if you know what they are, well, pretend I did :) ( And please, no nonsense about upgrading hardware, unlike upgrading software, upgrading hardware isn't free ) --Sig_/ecW_qbxNK8oL5SnwJHQVHoQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEgdrME8Lrmai3DXYJda6SGagVg7UFAlwUwQAACgkQda6SGagV g7UgXA//U0/hqDG2i8L71NiKAa8IPcrbGBKJQxs3+AuLu3sBzR1O4zNbhYWVYbRQ 6KSV8FFaLezruK6nKNM6nL17x0GchyXtXHkyFwb7S94z37BCkZUK7kv4v662i4sP SBF6p79PKzHPISWhzf0c60dEqvcfTKAyE/do8JuE4qp/gWfhjnNdrTZJnGU0Y7CD SdfHXfpzOurfvvddFmxRpkHtakggm4fRSGbOw8csDQgv3U3CJ/wbFSA8ZZQ1eed1 9x9uHiet5NhLDEtVHdEGic41I3OhSGWOYC90c9EOGgVY1CaiDfUNd6Agbu7k+jND X+40Wu23xeH6hXROosTbtxy3rEzNodC8E/1togQXweC5PV6kU+HUSh+X8QZV8ElC t8akM7Ferpbo7NG0QpOjGkCY6e/lkoA98zdQH3gNql8+yM2uNl5epi9dL6O9TwD0 O5rRiZtyZotWT0lz7O7XZGSwhkeTUYfTzrrRw56q490bW5ed5+2G6PZm6NCoxBtP TAQxwmePrJjtRxZCCoszpuWx7vZFoPRosb6G+GMCl0xE7oi2G+3uuvn9NM85E7TL g+mJqEOn9CxjY63j/EhAa9gFM1bZXFU1MNqzP1MmzPuT2tn7DmTeQz5HfZ11Fd+W 4rbzEu0aRMiSL3JrtaFtFAhooIHvE/rLAsrfXFItcCz1TuvEgZY= =GsTl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/ecW_qbxNK8oL5SnwJHQVHoQ--
