During the heavy development cycle on the nouveau driver some time ago, I had some issues. Nouveau was changing rapidly and rather than open BZs on a moving target, I just switched to the nv driver. It works a treat for my old hardware. I don't run any 3d, it seems to work OK for everything else. It's unlikely that any changes made to current drivers are going to enhance my experience on my old hardware, and I don't feel like dealing with peripheral hassles so I haven't tried the nouveau driver since. I used system-config-display to create an xorg.conf that I put in /etc/X, X11?. I just made the driver in it nv. Haven't had an issue since. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
