From the relevant Fedora developers, who are also upstream X developers, my current understanding so far as the free drivers goes is: Intel - i9xx and higher. i8xx is known to sort-of-work but have major issues, these issues will not be fixed and the intent is that i8xx adapters should be detected and fallback mode should be used. Radeon - r300 and higher, that's Radeon 9500 and higher. r200 and r100 are the same story as i8xx: they should be blacklisted by the session-is-accelerated check. NVIDIA - GeForce and higher (I may be a bit out here; it may be GeForce 2 and higher). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
