ATI drivers are available for 4.2. My '/var/log/XFree86.0.log' says:
(II) Loading/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.4349
Module class: XFree86 Server Extension
ABI class: XFree86 Server Extension, version 0.1
Either being current with XFree86 development doesn't matter or ATI is up one on nVidia in the driver department according to your metric.
1) This story is more bizzare than it seems at first. They want a Klingon interpreted in case they get a Klingon speaking patient. They don't actually need one right now.
2) Your observations about the provinciality of Portland mirror my own impression of the Northwest in general.
Yeah, I hate it when an os has all these shared libraries living in different directories and programs require a specific library. I never know if it's in/bin,/sbin,/usr/bin,/usr/sbin,/opt/bin or some other place.
You just don't know the difference between an executable and a library, and haven't used `which' before.

Thank you for telling me that "very important thing about the world." I seek further enlightenment and await your next post.
