As noted above, I have 3D effects, should I ever find any joy at all in wobbling windows, I can have them, the cube effect is a bit interesting, but hardly a reason to use a driver which is otherwise slow. IIRC the vendor driver gave me ~600fps under my previous Fedora release, and the vesa drivers gets to ~200fps (that from notes, machine is being used for "real work" ATM). -- Bill Davidsen <david...@tmr.com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- 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
