Terminology check on 'other DRI drivers'. The drivers provided by nVidia (and I assume ATI) provide hardware acceleration, but they don't use the Direct Rendering Infrastructure - referring to them as DRI drivers is thus somewhat misleading. Instead, I suggest you say something like "Binary drivers such as those provided by nVidia should not use this option as they do not make use of the DRI framework." Sound reasonable? Simon.
