That still cannot display the mouse properly on multi-monitor desktops without getting corrupted or random Xorg infinite hangs because I started a game in Wine. Always behind Xorg and Kernel updates and half-assed OpenGL support even when it should work
Think i manage to restart X when using their installer or why not doing it the propper way. using the package manager to download and install it properly.
For the past 1.5 years i had nVidia, X didnt crash once. FGLRX (Catalyst) could not score that for longer than 48Hours.
So in the end the saying still applies. Want performance go nVidia, want acceptable performance and OpenSource go AMD but don't buy lastgen because you gonna have a bad time.
Oh btw, bumblebee works perfectly fine on my Zenbook (UX32VD).
Cheer up and toodles!
