Try Nouveau first and if that works for you, stick with that. Nouveau provides
limited 3D support. I think you still need to install
mesa-dri-drivers-experimental to get 3D for Nouveau.

You said to try nouveau first, where would I get the drivers for that? is it the default driver from xorg? If not, where and how would I install and use it?

I know that mesa-dri-drivers-experimental is a package that I can download and install from fedora correct?

If you need more performance or if 3D is buggy for the stuff you want to
do, then try the nVidia drivers using rpmfusion packages.

If I need to go to this route, how would I know which package to install from rpmfusion???

Thank you,
Rob G. Healey
