They never replied to the first mail, and the second time I mailed them (a CC of this post) it bounced =(. Sent another copy to the linux-bugs@nvid... in hopes that they would know where to forward it. I mailed them back when I was using linux once with a bugreport and that team was very helpful, I got a quick reply and the guy answering me seemed very dedicated to finding a solution (the next version solved my problem). I just switched to FreeBSD(the day after nvidia released the drivers) and I love it. The reason I switched was because nvidia released drivers for it. This is really frustrating since I'm going to do some 3d development in about one month and I would really need accelerated graphics and I don't want to switch back to linux =(. //David Holm > On Sat, 2003-01-11 at 13:21, David Holm wrote: > > This is just my opinion, but I think you'll get a better chance of > solving your problems if you send your bug reports directly to NVIDIA > since you seem to have done everything you can do.
