ssh access would be awesome,
since kicking around builds and let them test by somebody else
really is hard to do .. at least I won't have that much patience :)
[Kudos to Wade, who has .. and nailed down one NV driver 'bug' (stack size)]
So yeah, bring it on - maybe we can fix it w/ your machine,
I hope so. It's always finding the neadle in the haystack,
since you just can't tell which API they have the bug in.
Q: Is this i7 thing the 'new' sandy bridge (SB) stuff ?
Maybe it makes sense to 'support' (test) at least SB, which may gain/have proper 3D accel.
Then the question arises whether to test their open source driver (linux)
or simply test JOGL w/ Mesa3D software only. The latter still lacks pbuffer
support AFAIK.
I know, it's getting complicated :)
