I use the proprietary Nvidia driver on two different workstations under F12, one at home and one at work, for two different reasons. At home, I have a MythTV server and my desktop is a front end, so I need VDPAU. I also have some 3D games, so I need 3D. Neither of those is supported by nouveau. I have no display-related problems with this machine. I have another machine that is mostly a server that uses the same relatively new Dell monitor, and so I just use nouveau on that machine (don't need 3D or VDPAU). It happily does full HD resolution without problems. At work, I have an old Dell monitor that doesn't do EDID, and I can't get nouveau to do anything better than 1024x768 on it even if I use system-config-display to tell it that the monitor is a 1920x1080 flat panel (which it is). The proprietary driver doesn't do full HD either, but at least I can get it up to 1280. On this machine, I do get periodic freezes, where the mouse pointer still moves around the screen, but clicking or typing have no effect. Only a hard reset/reboot fixes this. Any mention of this immediately gets fingers pointed at the proprietary driver, so I am kind of stuck on this one. I just have to get a newer monitor I guess. The two machines are both i386 32-bit, but they are not identical. The work machine is a Core Duo, and the home machine is a dual core Pentium-4. So I guess I would say that my results are mixed. --Greg -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
