no offence but this is EXACTLY the reason why having 2 drivers for the same hardware is bad. People (in general) will switch to the 2nd driver if they hit some thing that is suboptimal, rather than reporting or even fixing it. The result of that is that you end up with 2 drivers, each serving a portion of the users but both suboptimal in non-overlapping ways. Having one driver that's good enough for both groups is clearly superior to that....
