The nv driver exists for the single purpose of getting into a working desktop, so one can install the proprietary driver.
It is not intended as decent 2D-only driver or anything like that.
- xiaomai 13y agoI don't know think this is a fair assessment; wouldn't having users fall-back on the vesa driver be sufficient for what you are describing? The nv driver supports extensions like xv, so I've always found it was fine for my 2D needs.
- tobiasu 13y agoThat is the reasoning I've heard (read on the ML) from nvidia employees working on said driver.
