Well, yeah, and quite right too. We can't fix proprietary drivers and
we don't even know how they work. We could spend our time debugging
the interaction between proprietary drivers and our code, while trying
to reverse-engineer the weird things the proprietary code may do. Or,
we could work on our own code to make it good so that people don't
need the proprietary code any more.
thought that was the case. The Fedora project folks should not be
moving things around to satisfy nVidia, AMD or Intel. The point is that
nVidia can and does state what kernel version they tested with. The
person using those drivers should install the corresponding Fedora
Kernel. If it does not work, then it is up to nVidia to fix, not Fedora....
The OpenSource drivers should be doing this already.
