At least you guys get good support from Nvidia. The ATi drivers totally suck.

That's exactly why i switched to a nvidia card from ati. So i don't have to bother what works and what doesn't. At one point i got so tired of trying different kernel/xorg configurations just to get poor performance, features and stability. Hopefully amd will resolve the situation, but it's gonna take them time to get the quality level of the nvidia drivers. The only downside of the nvidia drivers is the proprietary nature, but that's all.. at least for me....

if they continue to deliver this kind of "support" my next laptop will come with an nvidia card.

Well, the 8.42 drivers are supossed to see the light this week, with enhanced performance and AIGLX support. Now, if I can only get decent 2D, Xvideo properly working, suspend working in X, and get rid of the uberstupid "two copies of X" bug, I will regain a lot of faith...
