On the other hand I have not realy had any serios problem on the application side (in Gentoo). Took me a while to figure out how to use 32-bit plugins in Firefox (nspluginwrapper turned out to be my friend) but that's pretty much it. On the hardware support side I have a number of issues, but I am not sure how many would be resolved should I switch to 32 bit. The issues are: ati-drivers (no Powerplay, no DVI-I out, versions newer than 8.30.3 cause the system to reboot on wakeup), unreliable battery reporting, somehow unreliable wakeup (followed by a kernel oops some times). Abybody seeing this in 32-bit land? Stefan -- If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic. --Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass |
