The DVD does not include updates when doing the upgrade, which means it is fully expected that some packages will not be updated because they're newer in Fedora 14 updates than in Fedora 15 GA. Running "yum upgrade" or "yum distro-sync" after the DVD upgrade should fix it. (The latter will also downgrade packages if even Fedora 15 updates have an older version than Fedora 14 updates. Such a situation is actually a bug, but it still happens sometimes, so distro-sync is more robust.) My recommendation is to use preupgrade or https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum instead of the DVD. (The former is the official recommendation, the latter is how I upgrade my machines.) I have been complaining about this brokenness for years, nobody cares about fixing it. So I can only recommend to never upgrade from the DVD. > Next Sunday I'll upgrade another box. Then I'll try to extract records > to supply to developers.

Nouveau now supports OpenGL (3D acceleration) by default in Fedora 15. (Fedora 14 already had experimental support for it; in Fedora 15, it is no longer experimental.)
