If 3D acceleration is needed an audio realtime patched kernel couldn't be used with NVIDIA graphics. There are patches that enable to use NVIDIA with the proprietary 3D acceleration, but those patches are offending the GNU. I still own the FLOSS nv driver for my Debian testing. At the moment I'm using a full preempt kernel with threadirqs set, so I use the proprietary driver with 3D acceleration. If I should use the nv driver, then I won't be able to use GNOME 3 without fallback mode? I guess I need to switch to KDE 4 and hope I can set it similar to KDE 3. XFCE, LXDE etc. can't replace GNOME 2 for my needs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
