And the consensus (at least for Fedora) is that Nouveau has passed up nv and should be the default driver. > Please explain why Blender 2.49 or 2.5 should be black listed. Applications don't get blacklisted. In this context blacklisting referred to keeping the kernel from loading the Nouveau driver that uses kernel mode setting. Apparently if mode setting gets used it causes a problem with trying to load the proprietary nVidia drivers later since they don't work with kernel mode setting. > No! the reason I suggested as much is because Nouveau causes so much > unnecessary trouble for so many newcomers and converts to open source. For the near future these people should probably be using a different distribution. Though maybe smarter packaging by the rpm fusion people could make using the proprietary nVidia drivers more newbie friendly. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
