At the end of the day ATi stuff breaks GLUT whilst
Nvidia stuff doesn't.
ATi is 100% and better than nvidia if you use
gentoo... otherwise nvidia amkes for a less stressful
life.
I first used their drivers over a year ago for a
machine that played dixv, mame and dvd's to my TV.
I upgraded to ATi, but after having bought a nvidia
laptop I'm massively impressed how good their current
drivere install is.
closed it may be, but they are looking after us linux
users..... please don't spoil it.

And, before someone points out that NVIDIA might
just release the
hardware specs, the hardware contains components and
designs from third
parties as well. Don't buy NVIDIA hardware if you
don't like the
situation. If they start loosing enough sales from
this (*absurd
laughter*) then they might start making hardware
free of third-party
components and released with open source drivers.
Spouting "evil
capitalistic corporation" stuff isn't going to get
anyone very far. ;-)
