i don't know nouveau and how it works since i have an ati, and with the new |
| 2 |
oss policy i don't think that i will switch to nvidia. |
| 3 |
i've told myself that i would have given to ati till the end of this year to |
| 4 |
make a good linux driver and they seem to have done it, even if there are |
| 5 |
still some problems around. the release of the specs of their gpus it will |
| 6 |
boost their hw over nvidia if they will actually do it. till now ati has |
| 7 |
released only 2d specs and the novell full-time working group is doing a |
| 8 |
good job and they seem to be sure to release a full working 2d driver till |
| 9 |
the end of the year or at most till feb 2008. |
| 10 |
returning to nvidia topic, i always thought that nouveau was supporting 3d |
| 11 |
and that it was also supporting the 8000 series, but not the 9000 one. it |
| 12 |
seems that i was mistaken and for that i need to apologize for the error. at |
| 13 |
least, now i've understood that nvidia isn't very far away from ati on some |
| 14 |
boards... |
