'Display Settings' -> 'Hardware' says it's using the nv driver, not nouveau. The nexuiz game, which requires 3D, now runs. It did not before I installed the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental package. Exactly what's going on under the covers I haven't a clue. There was a time when developers didn't try to cloak their work. These days we're told "Don't worry. Be happy." --Doc -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
