Working on F11 with xserver-staff from f9 isn't encouraged. I'M wondering why adding new features (like exa, kms) makes the x-staff work slower. if those new features aren't supported on older hardware, then the driver should know this and acts accordingly. I think that a driver-update should at least keep the old level of functionality and usability. I can enable the compiz staff with kde on f9 (which is fancy/nice) but the same combination is useless on f11, despite that both use the same kde. Maybe the developers should concentrate the radeon driver on r100-r400 and radeonhd on r500++. Or maybe I/we should buy new hardware. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
