As I understand it, the proprietary driver will not work on a debug
Linux kernel, so I have never actually tried it. I get the non-debug
kernel from the special repository for non-debug Fedora Linux kernels.

Last time I tried Nouveau, a year or so ago, it was unable to do
transparency properly so GNOME Shell was horrible to use, and it didn't
provide OpenCL support. Given that the NVIDIA proprietary driver very,
very rarely fails to work on Debian Sid, I just use it and until the
last couple of months it had always worked on Rawhide as well.

Happy solstice celebrations to one and all.

I don't think the proprietary Nvidia driver ever really worked with
Rawhide's debug-enabled kernels. If you want to use current kernels, I'd
recommend Nouveau. It offers the superior user experience anyway, as
long as you can live with its lower 3D performance.

I am not using a packaged NVIDIA driver, I download from the NVIDIA
site and run that installer. So whilst I do have RPMFusion in the
server list, this is not directly an issue for them. Though having said
that, whilst all the kernel-related packages are standard Fedora there
might be a GNOME Shell plugin from there, I will check. After the new
year though, as I am now away for Christmas and New Year.

I wish everyone on this list a good time over this period, whatever it
is called in your area.

Fedora Rawhide and NVIDIA

[Russel Winder]

The latest release NVIDIA driver (358.16) works fine with the Debian
4.3 kernel, but the same driver on the same hardware does a weird thing
with both the 4.3 and 4.4 kernels on Fedora. The combination is not
broken per se, it just does something that make it completely unusable.
This appears to be a Fedora issue. Is there a place to report this to
see if there is a fix?

Presumably to RPMfusion, who supply it. AFAIK it's not part of the standard
Fedora repos.
