Weiterhin zu bemängeln:
* WINE-Bug, oder auch "checkerboard of doom" (Schachbrett des Untergangs) weiterhin vorhanden. Es gibt aber ein Workaround! Nachzulesen --> hier <--
* kein Support von X.Org 7.4. Das ist aber auch nicht verwunderlich, da X.Org 7.4 sich immer noch in der Beta-Phase befindet.
* kein Support von OpenGL 3.0. Aber auch das ist derzeit noch nicht so wichtig, da es kaum (bis gar keine) Anwendungen geben wird, die OpenGL3.0 unterstützen.
Viel Spaß mit dem Treiber!
