I know it's working usably for at least one person (hno on IRC) with an Intel card. For me, on an NVIDIA 9400 GT, it basically hangs when run (won't take any input once a window is drawn); Ben Skeggs has the same card in one of his test machines and is looking at it. Don't have any data past that - I've been kind of assuming a few people are using it and it works, but not on the basis of any particular evidence :) it still has a lot of raw edges. GTK+3 apps, at present, seem to be very uglily (is that a word?) themed, for some reason - some all-grey theme that looks like it came from a 1996 Solaris machine or something - and there's lots of other sharp edges. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
