If you're anal rentitve No. For normal people, ie everyone but you the answer is yes.
You're talking about a dialogue box that you click yes to once. Stop being a dick about it or go back to installing your SATA drivers with your floppy disk.
I also would hate to see every halfwit using linux/gnu. All we need is a big enough marketshare for the corporate slime to see a financial benefit in it to produce stuff for both winbows and linux/gnu.
It'll never been a full implementation because Micrsoft brings out new versions of DirectX and their OS Kernel.
If gaming companies used OpenGL in the first place they wouldn't be having the problems they're having post production on other operating systems and gaming consoles. For example, if Half-Life 2 was openGL then they wouldn't be whining about how difficult programming for the PS3 is and then have to ship the port over to EA because they're too stupid to do it themselves.
Sorry to break this to you, but we're not all idiots that went out and bought an nVidia 9600GT. It was obvious from the get go that Nvidia was going to have problems with these cards yet you were duped to buy one anyway. Well thanks for doing all the beta testing, I'll be buying the newer, more stable DX10 cards when they're available.
In fact you'll find that most consumers stay with whatever graphics card came with the computer. Yes, you're in the minority so it's a pointless argument to make.
Not really the fault of Linux but of the company supplying your wireless driver that refuses to give out specs so people can actually make your wireless work automatically.
If this was a tax at give us all fiber it would be awesome. We'd finally have a publically owned fiber network that we could rent out to ISPs and the government could make money off.
Instead it's an attempt by the BBC to get even more money for their crap shows for idiots so they can pay morons like Jonathan Ross millions of pounds.
The BBC can go crawl back into the hole from where it came and I hope it dies. It's a useless service as the internet has taken over and I am sick of their bias reporting..
I'm sick of whenever there is a report of video game violence they always mention the same "manhunt made x kill y" claims which turned out to be false years ago. I'm sick of the BS pro chinese stance taken towards the games, and I'm sick of the crap reporting done of the Coop in Thailand last year.
Slashdot Mirror
Then you're out of touch with the gaming market because most games are on consoles such as the 360 and Wii. I'm talking 90% of the gaming market.
You can go on and on about the real problems with Linux gaming but that was not your original point which turned out to be a complete failure.
Your problem is that it will never be good enough for you because you just keep coming back with more and more ridiculous complaints.
You won't be satisfied even if it cures cancer and gives you a blowjob at the same time. You fail.

Cluestick, you're posting on the wrong site, bug reports go to Launchpad.net, not slashdot.
Please point out a post on the UbuntuForums.org where anyone has EVER said "RTFM n00b". Go on, you just quoted it so show your source.

Perhaps you could stop with the "No games for Linux" BS already as you obviously have your head up your ass.
You missed the joke, you're an idiot.
displayconfig-gtk, nivdia-settings ... yeah I can tell you never looked.

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!

Why would you need WiFi on the space station?
Put the CD in, turn on and start playing solitaire.
Ubuntu, I put the CD in things happen then I can play my card game..
Windows, This weird blue screen comes up and says I need to install or something..
Therefore windows is complicated.
When Ubuntu first starts Nvidia drivers are on there and DVD playback is a click away when you first play one DVD.
Quit your whining about stuff you don't know.
Is on my laptop and most laptops.

Since when did editing a text file become a "skill". I guess reading and writing must be difficult for you.
Did you need some nice shiny pictures too?
GaryPatterson, you suck at pretending to be someone else.
Wow this is so uninsightful...
Most game studios in England are located up north in area's such as Leeds, Wakefield, etc. These are the poor places of England.
Why would you do that? CUDA works on Linux already and would ran native.
Next you're going to be telling me the WINE guys are working on a wrapper for openGL...

Now because that has not worked the worms are trying an internet tax.
