maybe adding a warning when turning it on in system-config-display might help? a popup like "if you are using this driver your computer might explode; you have been warned!" well not this but something similar (someone who doesn't know what he is doing wouldn't enable it in xorg.conf)
And my answer to this.... if anyone is manually selecting a driver from the list..ever... then its that user's responsbility to know whether its going to work or not. If you are going through the trouble of picking your own driver, you sure as hell better have a solid idea as to what driver to pick instead of blithely scanning over the driver names and assuming a particular driver is the one you want. The auto-detection is doing the right thing, its setting up the nv driver. I see no reason to protect users from themselves when they are delibrately exploring non-recommended options. You might as well put a warning up for each and every driver that a user manually selects regardless of the hardware they are using. I'm still not too thrilled about the potential here to see this driver updated multiple times as f7 updates, that all users will need to consume even though its not a part of any hardware auto-detection scheme. Is there anyway we can make this driver optional, so that default install targets don't include it and only people who want to screw around with it get it installed? -jef"bets that if a xorg driver were named crackrock, some people would try to use it just cuz its there"spaleta -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
