I think i'd have to disagree. I have a PII-450 with a cheapo Vanta card in it, and i run GL apps ranging from Quake 3 to various GL programs of my own... no hangs. And i leave my system for days on end with a GL screensaver running. Still no hangs. I've used NVidia drivers all the way from 0.9-6 to 1.0-1251 and i never got that kind of instability. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
