You have to keep recooking the nVidia driver after every kernel update if you don't use Livna. If you do use Livna, you have to wait for them to recook it for you after the new kernel is available (I think it has a fallback built in that it will use vesa mode if the kernel is newer than Livna have for the nVidia thing). There used to be some advantage in terms of certain files not getting crapped on by the nVidia install action too, not sure if that is still true. If you use nv, there is no recooking or other crap to contend with, if it works with your hardware it works to the extent it claims in my experience, that includes xv for accelerated video. Therefore, IMO use nv unless you must have the 3D or multiple monitors/TV out. -Andy -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
