 I've been playing with the Livna Development repo and Rawhide. Still

X has a new ABI in F9 (there is no such thing as FC9 - that's a pet

nVidia :)

I already knew about the new ABI in X on F9. One would think that if
there are apparently current nVidia drivers in a Rawhide oriented
development repo that they would use the new ABI. Otherwise, why waste
the space on a disk?

Guess I assumed wrong and should have considered these drivers trash
from the start. So much for thinking they (the Livna maintainers) were
ahead of the game. To that end, I'm sure plenty of folks are already
yelling at nVidia, not that I won't join the chorus... :)

If the older proprietary drivers are broken with the new ABI, there is nothing Livna maintainers can do as they don't have the rights to the code to fix it. The open drivers like Intel work fine. So does the 2D nv driver for that matter.
