Right... but since I don't want the debug anything, and my system
is stable, I don't pay a terrible price. [if (false) => x] is true.
The system could destabilize in the future, at which point I'll
re-evaluate my use of Nvidia cards. Speaking of which, the nv
driver is rather unstable, and does not work for me at the moment -
just filed a bug...
For the moment I haven't heard of an OSS solution with good
performance for 3D games.... or wireless drivers for atheros. Since
3D games and wireless drivers are rather important to me, I accept
reality and use what's available. Surely my hardware working with
proprietary drivers is better than my hardware not working at all.
I see no problem with using the livna repository, so I'm not sure
what this thread's all about. What would be useful is: -
development branch of the livna repository (it's constantly
out-of-sync for rawhide testers!) - some sort of ABI, so that
modules don't have to be recompiled for each and every kernel
(wasn't something like this under development in the 2.6 cycle?
arguments against it never made any sense to me)
The reason for my starting the thread was the fact that there are a
myriad of repos out there for those of us who need (or "need" -
depending on your point of view) access to non-free software. They
overlap in a lot of places, but some have one app that others don't.
However, mixing repos who don't work together can have bad results.
So I was hoping we could unite them in, say, the Fedora-non-free and
Fedora-tricky-licensing repos so that they could work together and
maintain package consistency, etc.
