Well i dont now if i have good understand, butt someone has tell You to buy NVidia? No! As You now NVidia is giving binary drivers. It means that only nvidia can track and remove bugs, make new versions of that drivers. It is realy bad! Look - for example rivafb. If You use that framebuffer console and nvidia drivers then after every ctrl-alt-Fx your desktop looks like sh***, if You be able to see it ;) And - there is NO framebuffer support in kernel for geforces XXX. U will must use text-console. Look on radeon - radeonfb - it is and works. DRI/DRM - works, and is developeded, bugtracked by people from all over the world. Let me show You some MPlayer manual fragments! : I "2.2.1.2.3. nVidia cards nVidia isn't a very good choice under Linux.. You'll have to use the binary nVidia driver, available at nVidia's website. The standard X driver doesn't support XVideo for these cards, due to nVidia's closed sources/specifications." II "Q: OpenGL (-vo gl) output doesn't work (hangup/black window/X11 errors/...). A: Your opengl driver doesn't support dynamic texture changes (glTexSubImage) It's known not to work with nVidia's binary shit. It's known to work with Utah-GLX/DRI and Matrox G400 card. Also with DRI and Radeon card. It won't work with DRI others than these. it will not work with 3DFX cards because the 256x256 texture size limit." III "Q: I have an nVidia XYZ card, and when I click on the GUI's diplay window to toggle displaying the GUI panel, a black square appears where I clicked. I have the newest driver. A: Yes, nvidia corrected a previous bug (above), and implemented a new one. Let's congratule them." etc. etc. ;))) So, better buy Radeon. NVidia works butt you just cant now how long and how good. That is my opinion. Regards Gniazdowski.
