Hardware for Gnome3

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With the advent of Gnome3 not far around the corner and with a huge
array of different desktop and laptop machines with many different
chipsets and graphics cards in use by the community, I wondered if
there is a list of likely supported hardware that will have a
reasonable chance of being able to successfully run Gnome3 when Fedora
15 is released?

I know that we have the Gnome 3 alpha test days running (as of
yesterday) but presumably those running the tests have hardware that
is already expected to work with the new desktop experience with 3d
support.  It would nice nice if a user could run a quick probe of
their current hardware and then go to a list of kit that is expected
would be likely to run, or definitely won't run, Gnome 3.

Is there such a list?  Of course one can run commands to see if 3d
support is in principle available on your own machine - but in the
past having this information has not been a guarantee of getting a
working 3d machine for eg desktop effects, even though 3d is
"nominally" available. Clearly nouveau has been under heavy
development in the past year or two, and ATI support has been
accelerating too..... at what point does the experimental mesa stuff
become stable enough to use for prime time?

Would be nice to know.

In the meantime it will be very valuable to see as many tests as
possible being executed on as wide a set of different types of
hardware as possible for the gnome 3 test days to maximise the chance
that the largest number or users will be able to see a working desktop
as soon as F15 is installed after release.
