The Nouveau driver performance is slow and jerky because the nVidia hardware is still being reverse-engineered and the driver is still under heavy development. You can take a look here http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix/ to get an idea. If you don't insist on using Nouveau under Fedora, you can use the nVidia closed-source drivers just like in Ubuntu. The procedure is this: (1) install the rpmfusion repo [1] (if you haven't already), (2) do a "yum install kmod-nvidia" (it might take a while to finish because rebuilding the initrd is heavy, be patient with it), (3) reboot the machine. After that the nVidia driver should be active and everything graphics-related should be very smooth and silky... :-) HTH, :-) Marko [1] http://rpmfusion.org/ -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
