    * NVIDIA blob on a desktop box

    Ability to deadlock the machine, proved so in the past, but
    has not happened >= 1.0.7xxx so far.


    * Free "radeon" driver on a laptop

    The _second_ time (relative to starting the X binary) I switch
    from Xorg 6.x to the console, the screen fades from black to
    white. System remains operational, switching back to X gives me
    my graphics mode back, but no way to go back to console.
