maybe you do. it would be nice to say up front which distributions are going to have official support.

SuSE and Red Hat are their "officially supported" distributions, all other support and testing comes via the community.

The idea is to offer a choice of drivers -- a simple, stable open source driver which can be easily tweaked to work on the newest x & kernel releases (and which can serve as a development vehicle for them), plus a more feature-rich, performance-optimized proprietary driver which will be tested and supported on specific distros.

So we will have the choice between one driver that does not fully work, because it's missing the advanced stuff (likely because of unreleased specifications), and another one that does not fully work, because it does not support the latest distros/new kernels/xorg etc.? Sounds awesome.

Well then they should add at least one distribution with Xserver 1.4.x to the supported list to get rid of the errors soon. When nobody tests xserver 1.4 then this will not happen...
