Hmmm. Never heard of this one. In which way do your text terminals get corrupted? How does this look like? Only problem I have is, that consolefonts get "lost", once X has started. "Workaround": after console-login call /etc/init.d consolefont restart My TV out is working as a second X server with a different layout. Before I changed from vga=791 to vga=normal in my grub.conf, I got strange block artefacts on my consoles after X has started.

Well, I am a developer. And nvidia cards are the only ones, I can use with linux for the kind of applications I am programming. Ati ones are an alternative. But I'd have to use the binary drivers there too, so where's the disadvantage of nvidia compared to ati? Which other card could I use for my purpose? I'm reader of the dri-devel mailing list, I'm waiting for the day, I can switch to opensource drivers. I know, there are great progresses in the ati-drivers atm. Once they are done, I will switch, if there is no comparable opensource nvidia driver. Others will do so too, I think. That's the day nvidia will have to re-think their policy. > So, no.

"oops" ) 2D performance is ok for me. Maybe true, others are better, _I_ don't care. What I care about, is performance, quality and reliability in 3D. And there is no opensource driver fitting my needs in all of these atm. > So no, no points to nvidia from my behalf. That's ok.
