Hello everyone,

As far as Bugzilla is concerned I originally labeled it as "Task". The 
idea is that developers can pick if they want to tackle this task or 
not. I like the free software driver and I am happy with it on my office 
system but for games etc. the proprietary driver delivers better 3D 
performance.

As there have been recent efforts in supporting games in a blog posting 
we should definetely have the proprietary driver supported as an option 
and I thank you for the work you are putting into this.

I have been told that a Beta means "feature complete". If this feature 
is not implemented the distribution would we feature incomplete and we 
in this case can't call it Beta.
