I think the question is how regressions are prioritized. For me the issue is that my Radeon card has been working perfectly on F11 but had a major performance regression with F12 that makes the system too slow for regular use. I filed a bug with lots of information and a sysprof profile that shows extreme differences in behavior between the F11 system and a current F14 build but this hasn't been dealt with since I posted that profile. The result is that I'm pretty much stuck on F11 for now which is frustrating not because I expect any particular fancy features to work but because I bought this card since it was so well supported and working nicely on F11. Also the mobile version of the same gfx-chip doesn't have this issue on my notebook so I have a hunch that this isn't some major problem but something that could potentially be solved relatively quickly. What am I supposed to do in this situation? I guess I could spend another hundred bucks on a new card but then I don't know if that will loose support in the next Fedora release either. I think regressions need to be prioritized. Regards, Dennis -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
