Once nouveau came out, I pretty much dropped nvidia at that point since I'm not much of a "gamer" anymore (transparency in KWin was about the most taxing thing I used around that time). > how do you enable the missing 3d support for Nouveau? It came with mesa-dri-drivers-experimental. I remember playing Neverball with full acceleration during the F13 Beta on nouveau (though Kobo Deluxe was not). My nvidia machine has since been shipped back home to be the main laptop there (the 256MB XP laptop wasn't cutting it anymore and I've been bad about updating the desktop which is still on F10 yet). > And does it only work for a subset of hardware?

Maybe Shell needs more things since then? The experimental driver package may also be missing. > I have switched between nvidia and nouveau in testing F14, I prefer > gnome shell but using it can lead to fragility (eg. install nvidia, > configure gnome shell, update; temporarily disabling nvidia -> broken > desktop) Switching between the two has always been an absolute nightmare. If I need to go nvidia -> nouveau, a reinstall was the easiest and most reliable way to nuke the blob driver. --Ben -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
