Probably not that special hardware, but probably special drivers.

If you have an  ATI or NVIDIA graphics card, you will need the properity 
drivers. even then, not all work. See 

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RenderingProject/aiglx

for details.

For inbuilt intel stuff  I gather the inbuilt driver handles 3D out the box, 
but I don't have one so cannot be sure.

If you do need to install the binary nivida or ati drivers, both are available 
from livna

http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/UsingLivna

I use nvidia, and if you do also let me strongly recommend the livna route 
instead of the "default" or "official" nvidia binary installer. It will save 
you problems in the long run... (search this list for details).

I have never used ATI but I gather there are also drivers.

for nvidia, you can install the driver with

 > yun install kmod-nvidia

or ati with (I think)

 > yum install kmod-fglrx

for either you will need at minimum

Section "Extensions"
        Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

in your xorg.conf file. Maybe something else, I'm not sure...

If you have other problems, let us know :)
