NVIDIA Releases New Linux Drivers
mlmitton writes "NVIDIA just released new Linux drivers (1.0-5328). But the early reports by users are less than encouraging. People are weighing in with mostly bad news about how well these new drivers work. Some people are finding that Neverwinter Nights doesn't work and they're reverting to the old drivers (4496). I spent a few long hours recently trying to get the old drivers to work with Fedora Core 1 so I'm going to hold off on these new ones."
NVidia are the same fuckers that stole every 3D technology from 3Dfx and then claimed it was theirs in the first place. They are also the ones who did a hostile takeover of 3Dfx and killed off ALL LINUX development and support for truly great products. At the very least, they could have kept the 3Dfx VooDoo cards from VooDoo3-5 supported after they KILLED 3Dfx. But instead, the day they took over, they eliminated all support and left all of us VooDoo users high and dry. I WILL NEVER buy a card from a company like NVidia. They are the Microsoft of the 3D accelerator world. They didn't have a good technology of their own, so they used corporate espionage to steal it from 3Dfx and then claimed it was theirs. NVidia are criminals and they should be exposed for the evil that they are. I suggest that NO ONE buy any NVidia cards as they don't truly support or understand Linux and the Open Source/Free Software world. For now they are paying lip service to it, but that is only to lure the suckers in and then play bait and switch and force them to move to Windows. Watch for the Linux support to vanish within the next year or two. Instead stick by a company with a long track record of Linux support: ATI. Check out the GATOS project at SourceForge and you will see what a company who truly groks Open Source/Free really acts like. The rest of you NVidia fan boys can continue on to the cliff like the lemmings that you are. I can't wait to see your jaws drop when you find out that NVidia ownz your asses and will force you to use Windows very soon. Fucking moron NVidia fanbois.
So you are saying everyone should fuck up their computer with one of the shittiest operating systems ever made?
Until tomorrow. Then you'll have to spend another four hours trying to get your system working again because 3 lines of M$ code says "you don't want these settings, let me fix them for you." or "this driver wasn't signed by Microsoft, I'll just delete it."
ooohh, and he made me a foe. how fucking quaint. and "M$"? hahahaha!! brilliant.
