My major overriding need is for the video driver to be in sync with the |
| 15 |
rest of my software at all times so that portage can just do the right |

thing (exactly like all the other drivers I use). |

As long as the right pixels light up at the right time on the screen |

and X does not crash, then I do not care about super video performance. |
