me too - with 2.6.30 and everything. 2d was very good, better than vesa. 3d |

does not work - of course. The only reason I do not use them: |
| 11 |
no powermanagment. My card becomes hot and loud. |

I don't filter anything. Just default metalog with default settings. |

I know how the logs are filled up with 3d apps - but it is not as bad on THIS |
| 46 |
system. So what might be the reason? |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Every error line are ca 200byte. To reach even a megabyte you need a lot of |
| 49 |
them... |
| 50 |
for some reason, even the worst kernel log file did only grow to 662k on this |
| 51 |
system. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
And why should I and other who really don't have problems with the driver be |
| 54 |
punished because some others do? |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Last time I checked (3minutes ago) they were still marked unstable. So they |
| 57 |
are not forced upon you. It is your choice to use 2.6.29 or .30. And it is |
| 58 |
your choice to use that driver. |
