Pointless ideology?Pointless ideology?Posted Sep 2, 2004 5:43 UTC (Thu) by evgeny (subscriber, #774)In reply to: Pointless ideology? by einstein Parent article: Pointless ideology?
I had exactly the opposite experience with NVidia and their support, which was as responsive as /dev/null after a kernel crash (which happened twice a day). After a month of pointless struggle, I swapped the card for an ATI one, supported by X.org out of the box and has been happy since then. Your luck with NVidia is explained by a relative popularity of Linux/i386. My box is amd64 and they obviously didn't care much about it.
Please note that this post is not about which vendor is better (ATI hasn't released a 64bit driver at all); it's about the inherent devil of non-free drivers and software in general.
