They have other ways to see what kernels are being built. They also should notice that the testing version is older and that some sort of oops occured and not waste their time making a kmod for it. > If there was no way, Fedora should provide excuses.

People using > Fedora will know that NVIDIA drivers are not available. Fedora pretty much does say people should use Nouveau. Some people need more performance and using the RPMFusion versions to do that. However doing that has trade offs. Using those drivers cause problems and people hopefully are making intelligent decisions about whether or not that using them is a good trade off. > What is unacceptable is the present situation, where you can't get a shade > of an explanation as to what happened.

RPMFusion supports the rpms for the proprietary nVidia drivers and if you want anything to change, you should be complaining to them, as they are the ones that need to fix things. > So, let me ask: why wasn't the kernel in testing released?

I usually run kernels from the Koji builds so I don't know which kernels were in testing and updates in what order. However if you want to be able to make some guesses you might try reading the change logs in the kernel spec file. (You can see them on koji without having to download the srpms.) -- 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
