The NVidia forum has a lot of posts concerning lockups and artifacts with Xorg-server 1.10. I've been fortunate enough to avoid them, but your configuration may be significantly different. I'm running an overclocked NVidia 7600 GS with a fully updated Fedora 15 system. I just ran Google Earth under Gnome 3 (haven't tried KDE yet), and had no problems. I am running the latest beta drivers directly from NVidia (275.09.04). There have been some reports of errors if you're running an SMP kernel (see the NVidia forum for details), but I've not seen any issues running on an old 2.6 GHz P4. In short, look at the NVidia forums at www.nvnews.net, and also try the latest beta driver. . . . . just my two cents. /mde/ However, I am using the latest beta drivers -- 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
