Hi,

Yes it does, and we (at least I do) often ask users to try that at first.

It makes sense, even though it's not supposed to be a place to point users to. But "sometimes" there's a delay between a workaround documented on Redmine and on the website. I don't know the balance between how it could help users and how much noise it might produce on Redmine.

>> Is it worth making this information visible to users?


Yes, see above.

>> Is it helpful to keep it hidden in an HTML comment like I did?


No idea.

>> - Is it worth keeping track of when each issue has been updated last?
>> Here I'm proposing to keep this information in an HTML comment.


Yes, hidden is enough.

>> - « What name is displayed to the users of "Radeon HD 8790M"? »


Yes, from WhisperBack logs.

>> - Is the "(rev XXX)" part of the graphics card description relevant?


Not sure about that. Maybe not.

Cheers.
