getting the drivers is sometimes a pain ...
installing it is a big mess too

if they went away .. we'd have to bitch about ati/matrox :-0

to be.. they're all equally bad ... 
        - had to install drivers for gazillion varitions and reasons

- one usually inherits their hardware they have ....
        and have to call for help ... to get their box running

        - sometimes easier to just telll um call somebody else :-0
        ( esp if its a video card we already played with and x11 didnt
        ( work just right 

- FireGL-2 seems to be the wrost video card in my book ..
        - itd work ... than it randomy hangs/dies..
        and than it'd work while you're there ... go away and it
        dies again .. 

        - scrapped all of them and replaced with nvidia and 
        all the stereo 3d graphics seems to be happy
        ( and worked faster than the firegl-2 stuff

        - both of those cards retailed at about $1,00 each a year ago...
        and its still flaky/crappy ...
                - even the $20 rage128 did 1600x 1280 or whatever it was
                but they needed "3D stereo"
