Well, practically all (important) features of nVidia cards are undocumented. That's why nouveau people have to RE it basically from scratch. That said, I have a feeling that RE is going quite well, they even have some working 3D acceleration already. Of course, it is still too early to compare it to the closed source driver. > When I try "glxinfo | less" on my nVidia work box, it lists a whole > slew of GLX extensions.

That depends both on the capabilities of the hardware, and on the implementation of those capabilities in the radeon(hd) driver. > The installation instructions says that Fedora has a > phoronix-test-suite package, if you want to try it out yourself: > > http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/documentation/2.4/install.html And yum search says that there is a phoronix-test-suite package in the main Fedora repo (this is F12, but I guess it exists for F11 too). I'll try it out some day, it would be interesting... :-) Best, :-) Marko -- 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
