yes :) the proprietary drivers (nvidia especially) support some bleeding edge cards that xorg doesn't support. this might not always be true (given that stable releases tend to have old nvidia drivers) as it's of course depending on which versions you compare, however, for your use case, you would want to use nvidia (and kernel) backports anyway to have better hardware support. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: [email protected] Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
