--- Comment #40 from Bob Raitz <pappy_mcfae at yahoo.com> ---
It's not a rant. It's a practical observation. 

I have a lot more things to do in my day than hours and hours of work bisecting
code. I gave up on ndiswrapper because of Linus' unending war with it, and the
resulting months on end of waiting for patches to fix that which was purposely
broken. Then, I had to stick with an older version of X until you could get KMS
to work at all, much less reliably. I've struggled through other purposely
broken drivers and so on, and after a while, it gets old, seriously old.

Since it seems that no one else much cares about this, why should I go out of
my way to pretend I do? As soon as I can afford it, this laptop will most
likely become another dust collector. Until that time, since it seems no one
else owns a computer that is bothered by this bug, then let it remain. 

You'll eventually fix it, and I won't have to lift a finger to waste my time
with it. Or you won't. 

In either case, since I can still operate with an older kernel, then I shall do
so. If I can't update this machine to the latest and greatest kernel version,
oh well. At least you haven't destroyed the operation of the GPU's of the other
computers I use. There is that.
