All these highly qualified comments everywhere..
Personally, open source drivers cause a lot more problems for me. Including crashes, low performance, loud fans, artifacts, etc...
I would love to see good open source drivers. But right now, they just can't compete to the proprietary drivers in a technical sense.
EDIT: asdx: I have reported bugs from time to time. But with my new GFX card, it's just impossible to do so. Even simple stuff like using "dmesg" results in crashes from time to time. I can't even gather information I could report (And well, according to http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix most of that stuff is not even supposed to work on the later fermi cards yet. So I guess the developers are aware of the problems. Having a new GTX 570, btw).
Refering to KMS and multihead mostly. Just for information: I was using Oibaf's PPA for the latest Mesa.
