This would be welcome news for my machine with NVidia. I assume it is
still possible to get hardware accel?
On the other hand, how will this work on the machine with non-NVidia
hardware...will it be able to run 4.0.3 on all kernels it boots? Or will
I need to run 4.1.x? And if I run 4.1.x, will I have at least as good of
a quality (rephrased, stable and reasonable frame rate) OpenGL hardware
accel as with 4.0.3?
