And if yes - to RedHat bugzilla or to Gnome? I've just installed the nvidia drivers from RPMfusion as well. Running F15-x86_64. I've got a GeForce GT 230. After the install, I still had to use dracut to recreate the initramfs with the nouveau driver blacklisted. Thought the install was going to take care of that...but it didn't. Anyway, my reason for doing this was that I wanted to run GNOME 3 in a Vbox guest. In order to do that you need to enable 3D in the display section. The Vbox guest would crash when bringing up the GNOME Shell. No problems with the nVidia drivers. But, to answer your question..... GNOME shell runs just fine on my system. I normally run KDE and I will have to say the nVidia drivers do perform better than nouveau. The shading is better as well as the desktop effects and transitions. But, nouveau is getting better every release. Whatever you do, don't file a bugzilla about nVidia drivers on Redhat/Fedora. It is specifically *UNSUPPORTED*. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
