Think particularly of live images. 3d packages are supposed to check for support for the 3d features they need and display a nice message if they can't run on the current hardware. (Usually this is done by running a script which does the checking and if things look good run the real program.) > I would really appreciate it if nVidia, ATI or Intel would create RPM's > for their own cards so we could deal with them directly.

This usually doesn't work out as well as you might think. Vender supplied rpms sometimes do some pretty bad things (such as creating local root exploits). -- 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
