And I see a console message that says that there is no 3D hardware acceleration. I've got the same software versions. You mentioned that you have a GeForce 7300 card. All GeForce 7300 (GT,GS,LE,SE and PCIe or AGP) cards have 3D hardware acceleration. They should be recognized as such when booting F15. What does 'lspci -d 10de:' say. You are running the Nvidia driver. This requires a 'nomodeset' entry in the kernel line of /boot/grub/grub.conf (if I remember correctly). To switch to the nouveau driver you have to disable the nvidia driver. Have you checked if the 'nomodeset' entry has been removed. Also have a look at system settings-system info-graphics-forced fallback mode-on/off Alexander -- 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

Ok good - does KDE still work ok if you turn on desktop effects - that may tickle the 3D stuff more ... gnome 3 tickles it even more than that as I understand - but if 3d effects on KDE is a problem then we know for sure its not gnome per se ... gene -- 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
