I'm glad for your perception on that score, but you should see the LKML
posts I was referring to!  To repeat, it got bad enough that the team
had to invent a system to track "tainting", to filter out those bug
reports.

For what it's worth, please note that I specifically said I'd avoid
ATI's high-end cards:  For one thing, the only way you'd get 3D is using
a proprietary X11 server and kernel code.
