Please reply if you need to ( ie must) use the proprietary nvidia

Or some other video driver that doesn't support kernel mode switching.
DON'T reply otherwise, I don't want to hear a debate on the free
versions versus proprietary or anything else.
If you are using the proprietary nvidia driver or some other non kms
equipped driver, how are you finding F12 ? Ie do you experience
freezing when you access some panel items ?
Thanks
I tried the Nouveau driver on a new laptop but it didn't support 3D for
Stellarium or games. I see that there is some open source 3D but I
couldn't find the rpm. When there is an RPM I will try it. (Gallium)
I have an old laptop that is running the Nouveau driver but it's
response is slower than under F7. I will test the Nvidia driver and if
it responds faster, then I will leave it on. (Multimedia)
At work I need 3D support.
Desktop at home needs 3D support.
4 machines - 3 Nvidia 1 Nouveau (for now)
