I personally have a 540M, for which the "newest" supporting drivers are |
| 21 |
396.18 |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
But I'm not gonna block this, I'm just irate with the status quo |
| 24 |
upstream is delivering. Noveau support is just as flaky and so my only |
| 25 |
option is "hey, just stop using video acceleration", which, amongst |
| 26 |
other things, makes video conferencing impossible. |

So I'm not going to cite Linus'es opinions on Nvidia verbatim here, but |
| 29 |
if you know what they are, well, pretend I did :) |

( And please, no nonsense about upgrading hardware, unlike upgrading |
| 32 |
software, upgrading hardware isn't free ) |
