    Well it is a silly thing to hate software that fixes the video card 
you get when you buy it. I paid a few bucks for the Video card and it 
didn't work well at all in Linux. Then I was told about the software and 
I yum installed it and now my tiny new computer looks as good as the 
monster it replaces. If you think you MUST have the source code for all 
things in a computer your not right.
