If you're going to post stories about bugs in proprietary drivers, at least please add tagging functionality to LWN so we can tag them "haha". [[!tag haha]]

Probably best to stick to just FOSS announcements. We shouldn't be undermining the great work the OpenGoo team is doing.

True enough. After all, we *know* the Goo Corporation is evil.

Before laughing at Nvidia, how about getting *any* open-source video driver to perform at the same level that Nvidia does? I suggest you start with the Intel driver - which remains amazingly unstable, and whose performance gets worse with every release, despite being open and supported by Intel's hardware people. And even if Intel doesn't cause as many kernel oopses as Nvidia, it causes far more X lockups and crashes.
