ikoniahello soreau11:03
soreauHello all, I have a problem with !nvidia and !ati factoids in #ubuntu. They point to the link called https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto which suggests (by it name) that you must install a binary (proprietary) driver which is not the case for most cards, especially in light of the new FOSS driver situation11:03
soreauhi ikonia11:03
ikoniaok, so what would you suggest for the name of the page ?11:03
soreauWell I havent thought that far out, give me a moment please, its 5am here :)11:04
soreauikonia: I would think it should be named something less biased toward binary drivers11:05
soreauVideoDriverHowTo?11:05
ikoniaok, seems reasonable11:05
ikoniaare you happy with the content that is there ?11:07
