I would like to compare present status. Novell solution is that for start is delivered generic nv driver that is probably better startup option than most generic drivers on other platforms. If user wants more he can use tiny-nvidia-installer which is included in distribution and has no proprietary component. It will download regular nvidia-installer from nVidia download site. The similar solution is in Windows since ever. You have working driver delivered, but if you want more (the newest), you have to go and search the vendors web site, download the driver and install it. The solution offered by Novell saves you one step, search on vendors web site and guesswork what driver is appropriate for your hardware. Please don't mix OS that computer vendor preinstalled, using the latest driver from nVidia, and the same OS boxed version that has generic VGA, VESA or some obsolete nvidia driver. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
