DDX refers to Device-Dependent-X11 driver, the NVIDIA driver provides its own binary module for it. Of course, it's also not necessary if the NVIDIA driver exposes kernel modesetting, then the regular modesetting DDX that Xorg uses by default should be sufficient. DMX is something else entirely. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
