How is ATI support better than Nvidia ? As far as I know, both provide

I had nothing but bad experience with Nvidia's binary drivers. They kept locking up my machine completely. The open-source alternative, XFree86's nv driver, is completely pathetic. The XFree86 Radeon driver, on the other hand, has performed so beautifully for me that I never felt the need to try their binary driver. YMMV.



Steve Freitas is now my definition for typical case for an nVidia user these days.



Actually I have more 'diffcult' experience with ATI than nvidia... the last time I checked, framebuffer still hangs when I switch from X to consoles with my ATI 9700.

On my laptop (dell), once I got the nvidia driver working (ok, it tooks me some days) , I never run in troubles.

Frederic
