I thought linux aim is not to work only on specific hw like mac ! I can't b= uy = another hw, only because of such a issue. The aim of linux is to be as = compliant as possible. A lot of people are experiencing that issue on mac, = hp, = samsung with geforce, and I don't think the linux distribution can ask all = those user to buy an AMD !!!!!!!! A solution has already be found on nouveau, so I think it could be possible= to = integrate it in the kernel
