That's afaics one of the bigtgest problems users run into right now... E.g. the user in a ideal world would install rpmfusion-config-display and it could tell the users which driver to install.

Hmmm. Maybe. But I still tend to think it's wrong to mix to different ways to chose the driver. > > IOW: if you (for example) have five drivers to offer then use one scheme to > > present them.

Well I meant that the others should not be displayed at all (or greyed out) if the checkbox "show beta and alternate drivers" isn't checked.
