As of tomorrow's rawhide [1], gnome-session will no longer treat llvmpipe as an unsupported driver. This means gnome-shell will run even on hardware without a native 3D driver, including virt guests. There are probably bugs! I've done some quick tests on the hardware I have handy and in kvm, and

rfc/headsup: graphics driver packaging in F16+

2011-04-12 Thread Adam Jackson
There are two major package classes in Fedora that provide graphics drivers: xorg-x11-drv-*, and mesa-dri-drivers-*. In F15, mesa-dri-drivers now only includes drivers with DRI2 support (radeon, nvidia, intel) and the software renderer; if you want all the older drivers you have to install mesa-dr
