RE: F7: Desktop Effects bug with nVidia GPU

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All, 
I reported something similar in FC6. I have updated the bugzilla page
below to reflect these occurances in F7. Have a peek at:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235616

You may, possibly, be able to provide more information than what I have
been able.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, 
Tony Crouch
