Pardon me for not quoting the entire text.
> Yes, the interviwee (me) has evidence that the nvidia drivers do not work ON SOME Via-based chipset computers, and nvidia knows that (I got response from an nvidia engineer). For example the VIA KM266 has trouble with ANY Linux running nvidia's accelerated drivers, not just red hat. It would crash hard the kernel even on plain 2D mode.
Thanks for the added information, but while you say that there is evidence that the drivers do not work ON SOME Via-based chipsets (I read it from the driver README as well), are you saying, then, that the engineer has mentioned that RedHat, specifically, isn't helping them on that? On second thoughts, I guess it doesn't really matter since one can't expect RedHat to help NVidia support every video subsystem unless the problem were RH-specific, yes?
