Do other people experience this slowness? Or just select a different one if it is too slow for you. For a majority of computers (I have an ATI and Nvidia) the open source drivers should work fine. Stutter does happen when it first starts because it loads up a bunch of different images into memory and at that point it is more disk I/O. 3d hardware support doesn't do a thing here because it is all just blasting different size bitmaps onto the screen and moving them around. Most open source drivers should handle this fine. -- John (J5) Palmieri <johnp@xxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
