# 3.4. Problems with Alternative 4

Alternative 3 was something I wasn't immediately to keen on trying. Using 3rd party drivers isn't the first thing you want to do when you want a stable system, at least not when the drivers are developed by someone totally independent. The driver comes in 2 modules, the driver itself and a DRI support module. This seemed a bit weird, but it works, and is in my opinion the best alternative if you want everything to work. The mplayer problem is gone, and everything runs smoothly. Still, this alternative is from a 3rd party, and may therefore be far less stable and safe than the other alternatives.
