I do not need huge 3-d acceleration and stuff, but want it to work well. I am using a FireGL 3400 at work and it is working well with F11 (right now). There have been points during this rawhide when it didn't, but it looks like but KMS and 3D will be working for the release (as they are right now). If you use an nVidia card you will need to use the propietary drivers to get 3D acceleration. The default drivers for nVidia are switching from nv to nouveau in F11. My understanding is that this provides some improvement, but you still only get 2D acceleration. P.S. I have some bias in that I want to support companies like AMD/ATI and Intel when they make the data for how to use their hardware public as compared to companies like nVidia that don't. So while I have some scrounged nVidia hardware around, when I actually buy new stuff I have been going with ATI. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
