But what is extremely frustrating is that as soon as a KDE/Fedora developer sees a display type issue and the driver is proprietary, they refuse to work on it. Nevermind that the bug could be in Qt, xorg or something else. The other thing that bugs we is that we are constantly (since F10) in no man's land. Nouveau isn't finished and totally working yet. In fact, Fedora people weren't keen about Linux merging it in 2.6.33 ! And yet the KDE developers keep writing stuff that doesn't work with the proprietary nvidia driver. If the Fedora/KDE community wants to force us to use nouveau then they need to complete it, ie clean up all the bugs and build a GUI that allows one to control it like nvidia has done. I'd GLADLY use nouveau then. UNTIL then we have to realize we live in a TWO driver community. Some of use still need to use the proprietary nvidia driver.
