Yeah, I also run the free driver. There isn't really any "point" in doing so... I had the choice between an ATI card and an NVidia card... both of which only support OpenGL with their respective proprietary drivers. I tried the NVidia ones, but I get weird problems with fonts not showing up in some places (Fedora Core development), and as I plan on switching to the Xen kernel soon, and have seem that this is a problem with the proprietary driver, especially on x86_64... well... :-( I really love xmame's xv support. The day Hans hacked it in changed my mame'ing experience! It was now easy and trivial to get just about any (not too recent) game running full screen and fast with proper aspect ratio etc. on any hardware. And I'm also part of those who think that xmame's OpenGL display doesn't look as nice as the Xv one. But I guess this can probably be fixed.
