Fedora (and/or X.org) cannot be held responsible for a semi-working driver. At least as long nVidia is refusing the release the required spec of nVidia chipset. Blame nVidia instead. (Yes, I know that nVidia is helping the 2D driver... but this is far from being sufficient. Sorry) B. ... Even if Fedora and/or do anything about a semi-working driver, unless you take the time to report the problem (with exact model numbers, configuration, etc), it will not be fixed. C. Having persistent (-unreported-) bugs doesn't mean "no work is being done"... In most cases it means: "We are not aware of the problem or have insufficient data to solve it". Xorg and Fedora developers are no psychic. ... In short, you can either (A) bitch and moan, or (B) you can help Fedora solve your problem (Filing a bug report, complete with machine/Xorg/etc configuration, etc). In case you're wondering, posting a message in fedora-users (without any meaningful information) is option A. - Gilboa -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
