Re: avoid nvidia?

Here goes my usual rant...I monitor the list for *nvidia*, to make sure 
people become aware of the simple solution to this problem :-)

OR you can simply download rpms from www.educ.umu.se/~peter/nvidia, 
follow the short instructions available there, install and restart X. No 
configuration required, no compiler hassle or runlevel switching.

So in other words, there is no reason to avoid Nvidia because the driver 
is hard to install.
