Comment 1 for bug 32853

As an nvidia-glx-legacy user please don't do this. The non-legacy nvidia binary package is installed by default so if things were defaulted to the nvidia binary driver X would (by default) appear broken to me. Also software suspend is horribly broken with the binary drivers for me and further, nvidia have yet to release patches to make it work in 2.6.16 kernels (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=147009 )

At least under the current system people quickly know if the binary driver is going to be problematic because they have to enable it by hand.
