That's true, but if you want to add any of the patches, or configure it differently from the default configuration, you'll need to compile it from source. There are no config files. Compiling only takes a couple seconds. It's that small.

My favorite tiling window manager is ratpoison. It's a bit different than the others, like i3, awesome, or dwm, but it gives you a bit more control of the layout and you can save the layouts that you like. And like the others it's very configurable. I guess part of the reason I like it the

This was a replacement for the card that came with the computer. I had exactly the same experience with that one. It also showed up in lspci, but I couldn't get it to work with any distro that I tried, free or nonfree.
