The video drivers have issues with ATI (Radeon) card, Nvidia cards and chips, and Intel chips. Some work, some need pre-release open source drivers, some need vendor binary drivers. In addition to technical issues there are political issues, and people who will insist that it's better to run in VESA mode rather than use a vendor driver. Others will insist you need a vendor driver so you can use 3D and wobbly windows. There's a lot of "anyone who doesn't do it my way is stupid, evil, or ill-informed" out there. :-( -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen@xxxxxxx> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
