And I don't want to hear any more excuses about vendors not being as fully into the Linux game as we wish they were. They devote as much time and resources as they can and as their market allows. They actually are putting effort into their drivers, but KMS was sprung on them at the last second. And before that second could expire, ubuntu decided to fully embrace a system that only worked with KMS drivers. You don't think that might have at least "irked" them a little?
I don't need to explain that I love Linux and all the philosophy behind it, as my passion in posting here should fully expose that. But I would have to be an ignorant fool to believe that Linux developers don't make mistakes. And here, the mistake was made within the Linux community. The only way to fix it is to root out people who make the same tired excuses we've been hearing for years. I know this particular bug is only about splash screen appearance, but this problem plagues this project in several other areas and needs to be solved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563878 Title: Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI/nVidia proprietary graphics driver -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
