A lot of the important bits of nouveau (and all modern drivers) now reside in the kernel as part of KMS, so F18-as-shipped would be different from F17-as-shipped wrt nouveau even if the xorg-x11-drv-nouveau package hadn't changed. of course, we now keep legacy releases up-to-date kernel-wise, so in many ways, up-to-date f17 will have almost the same NVIDIA support as up-to-date f18. wheels within wheels... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
