+Thanks for your mail.
+
+That would upset me, too.
+
+Many users of the forum have run into problems with Mageia 2. We've 
+talked about this in last council meeting and I have no doubt that this 
+will be discussed in mageia-dev meeting and that the problem will be 
+properly addressed.
+
+There are boot-nonfree.iso's that contain the proprietary divers 
+(including Ati Radeon). Links to the iso's can be found at the bottom of 
+http://www.mageia.org/nl/downloads/ Make sure you choose one with 
+*nonfree* firmware.
+
+I'll send a cc of this reply to mageia-discuss ml. Manuel is correct: 
+the bugsquad ml is not meant for this. If you want to reply, please do
+it to: Mageia general discussions <mageia-discuss at mageia.org
+
+Cheers,
