I would recommed to do that.

FYI:

In my previous mail I wrote about "proprietary driver crap".
I think this could be misunderstood without explanation:

In general proprietary software is not crap only because
there is a bug in it. Also free software has bugs.

But what makes proprietary software crap in general is
that when there are issues with proprietary software,
nobody - except the authors or vendor of the proprietary
software - can provide real help because nobody - except
the authors or vendor - know how such software really works.

In other words:
I would have liked to provide real help but their proprietary
crap prevents it so that in the end their crap only had
wasted my time which made me somewhat upset.
