Except it might provide sluggish performance even in 2D like on many NVIDIA chips which still lack reclocking in nouveau. I guess it could be a valid reason to give user a choice of proprietary driver. ___ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en

Well, modesetting works on any KMS hardware, so I would go with dropping entire virtual xorg-driver-video thing from all drivers. -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org ) ___ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
