No. X.Org X11 1.5.0 is an important feature of Fedora 9. See: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XserverOnePointFive http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OneSecondX The upstream release schedule is such that the final or almost final 1.5.0 will be in Fedora 9: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-February/033195.html Adam Jackson (ajax), the Fedora X11 maintainer, is also responsible for the upstream release, so you can expect him to know what he's doing. > Much of what makes a desktop contemporary depends on features in the Nvidia > driver not presented in the nv driver. Then you should have bought a graphics card with Free drivers. If your system is a desktop system (not a laptop), it's fairly easy to replace the graphics card with a cheap supported Radeon (up to X850 is supported by the r300_dri driver, and that includes the X1050 which is just a renamed X300/X550). > I Googled around and didn't find any explanation of what > fantastic wonders await us with the new ABI.

It's there in the Free drivers which Fedora supports and includes.
