There is a lot of change going on in graphics driver infrastructure right now (and for over a year). I think that this is related to why graphics support has been so spotty in recent releases. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I had been hoping F12 would be a really nice release for graphics, but that will probably end up being F13 (with F12 getting fixes along the way) for people using intel and ati devices. nouveau has some future promise, but working 3d is probably going to be farther out than F13 unless more resources get committed to it. _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
