Not to mention that I consider it quite ironic. The mga driver was broken in a few versions of X11. Arch fixed it quickly, as did various other non-newcomer friendly distributions, such as Gentoo and FreeBSD. In Gentoo, even in the last beta of Feisty that I tried, although the problem is confirmed (long after it should have been) and a fix has been made, they still haven't fixed it. I think it was fixed in Arch within 3-4 days of occuring. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Buffy: The world is what it is---we fight, we die.
