Here let me show you something... pointing out that NVidia lagged the X.org 7.3 release and its stable ABI. Fact 1: X.org 7.3 was released on 09-06-07 Reference: http://www.x.org/wiki/Releases/7.3 Fact 2: NVidia did not have a new driver ready as of X.org 7.3 release: Reference: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=97942 Quote Nvidia developer on :09-06-07 "To reiterate, we can't comment on driver release schedules but I can confirm that the next driver release will support X.org 7.3. In the meantime, using -ignoreABI should be safe as long as you disable the Composite extension." Fact 3: Nvidia does not time releases around X.org releases: Reference: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=98635 Quote NVidia developer on :09-06-07 "the next driver release is not pending the Xorg-7.3 release." -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
