1st) ... both ATI and nVidia users ought to know they are at the mercy of their
manufacturors not us (kde) for the kind of drivers they ship...

2nd) ... but sure, talking with ATI&nV doesn't hurt - but the thing is, with closed 
of drivers we (the F/OSS community) can't just go "Eureka" and start implementing
when we think we've figure out something... but have to asort to "politics" an kind
mercy of ATI&nV, to implement the thing ... IF, if they even choose to do it at all.
... I see lots of headache in this approach.

... and I think this sort of development (the-political-way) hurt the users more then 
spending time on drivers we can work on when we ever we ve have an "Eureka" moment.

But sure, if ppl like to go the-political-way, fine, it's your choice & your time you'll spend.


... I'm more the work efficent-kinda-person, ergo my opinion.


A'hoj.
