I, too, can't upgrade to the newer xorg-server; due to a known bug, the |
| 17 |
nvidia-driver 290 doesn't recognise my 7600 Go, so I have to stick with 279 |
| 18 |
for the time being. |

You could try nouveau. The setup isn't really difficult, you get better 2D |
| 21 |
performance, adequate 3D performance, plus KMS support (which means high TTY |
| 22 |
resolution without (u)vesafb, and thus no more problems when switching between |
| 23 |
X and TTY). I would like to use it more often, if it wouldn't leave me with a |
| 24 |
black screen after waking up from standby. |

Instead of just trying to do our best, we should try doing something good. |
