With a gentle touch of "see Figure.1" ethos, please take the time to read: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Objectives http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ForbiddenItems To put it bluntly: the fact that third-party proprietary drivers do not work in *any* branch of Fedora is not a Fedora bug. You can complain to your hardware vendor instead. > Why maintain Flightgear and other 3d programs if there > is no way to run them properly? As amazing as this sounds, FlightGear and other 3D programs do run properly with free software drivers on a lot of video cards. Just not on *any* video card though. You can have a look at the freedesktop website to see which hardware works and which does not: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Intel Some models are even available fanless.
