I personally would be in favor of that, for the simple reason that it would result in a huge spike in bug reports that would speed its development. Only if nouveau was not available for an nvidia card, should it choose vesa as the fallback. However, please be aware that there are applications, typically those that also need the RTAI kernel conversion, which will not be happy with anything but the vesa driver regardless of the logo on the video cards box. Vesa seems to be the only driver that doesn't hog interrupts, destroying the very essence of hard, realtime control demanded by machine controlling software where the machine being controlled is driven by stepper motors. > _______________________________________________ > [email protected]: X.Org support > Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg > Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg > Your subscription address: [email protected] -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
