ah ok, sorry, i got mixed up. i thought nv is the proprietary. i just
checked my xorg.conf, and i see i'm using the proprietary, nvidia. does
it have some limitatios? i use it with having in mind that it supports
whatever i need in linux. is this the case? is there some acceleration,
some extension, some very basic render option that is usually required
and missing from nvidia?
