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 
<A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/nl/downloads/">http://www.mageia.org/nl/downloads/</A> 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 &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">mageia-discuss at mageia.org</A>

Cheers,
Marja
