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. --- Sean Middleditch <elanthis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Thu, 2003-10-23 at 13:21, Christoph Wickert > wrote: > > Niels Weber schrieb: > > > > >Hi all! > > > > > >I know that nvidia is evil with releasing their > drivers only in binary > > >format and so on. > > > > > I don't know who said that.
