| 00:00.22 | CosmicPenguin | specially on these *cough* crap *cough* nforce boards |
| 00:06.45 | TomW | Yeah, seems that all I get from NVidia lately is nothing but *cough* crap *cough* boards |
| 00:07.40 | TomW | lousy mo'boards, lousy video drivers! Especially their video driver crap. |
| 00:10.43 | marklwrk | i hear the 9200 is pretty good |
| 00:10.52 | marklwrk | as far as open source support, at least |
| 00:12.16 | TomW | kergoth: yes, I do love my Radeon 9000 pro 128Meg |
| 00:16.36 | TomW | after numerous nasty hits, of late, with nvidia products, I have come to believe that one need have a certain *mindset* to use their products, I do not seem to have that. |
| 00:18.37 | marklwrk | well you have to be able to handle those damn binary drivers, which are annoying |
| 00:19.06 | CosmicPenguin | In my case, it wasn't so much a binary driver as a IDE device that doesn't play well at all with the generic driver |
| 00:19.36 | TomW | yeah, especially when you uninstall the nvidia driver and it take your GPL version of libglade out with itself too. |
| 00:20.39 | TomW | I still have two of those A7N8X boards sitting here useless. fontenot says that I can use the noapci stoff to make 'em work though. |
| 00:21.22 | TomW | why do they do that? Sell boards that only run under windows, don't they even give linux a "quick sniff"? |
| 00:31.15 | CosmicPenguin | Well, there was a whole day shot |
