That's not really a data point. Unless you can actually test it (or otherwise prove that it would be slower if it worked), you're merely complaining that you can't use the faster solution. I'm sorry that you've bought non-OSS-friendly video card and now you're stuck with the choice between awful proprietary drivers and far-from- complete OSS drivers. However, that doesn't prove that the native version would be faster at all. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
