Binary drivers suck

  • Functionality (Composite,

AIGLX, Realtime etc.)

kernels/xorg, old cards

  • We need free drivers!

Intel

  • Best free drivers

card in shops

  • BUT: binary interface (DRM,

HDCP)

ATI

  • Limited 3D support for all cards

before X1300

  • No 2D/3D support at all (only

VESA) for past X1300

  • ATI very uncooperative (don't

even talk to devs)

  • No free 3D yet
  • Nouveau-project working on

better free drivers
