Pointless ideology?Pointless ideology?Posted Sep 2, 2004 4:47 UTC (Thu) by BrucePerens (subscriber, #2510)In reply to: Pointless ideology? by einstein Parent article: Pointless ideology? When last I checked, the closed nvidia driver for AMD64 did not provide 32-bit emulation, as the entire rest of the kernel interface did. Previously, a trivial problem with setting the card's gamma remained unfixed for years, seriously inconveniencing many filmmakers. The folks who really depend on these drivers, the visual effects industry, have to walk on eggs around nVidia and ask very politely for support, because they can't get it elsewhere and their market isn't so important to nVidia. We really need to fix that. Bruce

Pointless ideology? Posted Sep 9, 2004 12:48 UTC (Thu) by forthy (guest, #1525) [Link] The current nVidia driver for AMD64 does support 32 bit emulation. Itwasn't in there right from start, but they figured it out. For a closed source driver, nVidia is almost as good as it can get. The point that an open sourced nVidia driver would be much better is undisputed.
