That is true if the manufacturer says: We support Linux they should 
offer drivers and ideally they contribute directly to free software 
projects. The question that remains though: How strong is the support? 
(or let's say the degree of dedication)

As far as I understand it, nVidia has stronger support for Windows, 
which makes sense as most AAA-games still come out on Windows first. But 
the situation on gaming has definetely improved for Linux.

I am mainly relying on my onboard graphics chipset to play an occasional 
Counterstrike 1.6 session. But I am definitely not a good CS-player, get 
shot very often and don't make that many "frags" as others.

Concerning the bug that I have posted I labeled as task to check 
dependencies. I believe this has to be done if we support the 
closed-source drivers. Therefore I don't agree with that the "bug" has 
been marked as INVALID in the meantime.
