When Will AIGLX Come For ATI?
Nvidia is really no better. Their drivers, since the introduction of AIGLX support, have suffered from the "black windows bug". This is, according to Nvidia, caused by a memory managemeny problem in their driver. Other than occassionally reporting that they are still working on the issue, Nvidia users have no relief.
All of my future purchases will be Intel video - or any other video that has fully open source 3D drivers at the time. I'm am done with closed source drivers. Beryl works great on Intel video, and if it's not fast enough for some games, I'll just buy a console. It's cheaper than a new high-end video card anyway.
