The development of XvMC and vdpau support is in progress right now ---
take a look at

   http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix/

and specifically

   http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/VideoAcceleration/

The latter site comments that at the moment closed-source firmware is
typically needed for modern hardware. While nouveau itself refuses to
include it (and I can imagine Fedora too), it can be obtained either
manually or if your particular Linux distro provides it as a package.
There is a single-entry list of distros that do so far: Archlinux.

Maybe a nice small project for a rpmfusion package?

HTH, :-)

Was Mate desktop, ten caja instances. Now Nouveau

2013-07-23 Thread Roger

  After that I tried to upgrade from nouveau to NVIDIA drivers.

Why?
I have used the nouveau drivers since Fedora 16 they work very well and 
it saved me a lot of heartache and time. I use mate on one system, Gnome 
on another and cinnamon on the desktop.

I do graphic intensive work and development at the same time.
 Cinnamon desktop is getting jerky when dragging windows when I have 
several open but apart from that I'm glad to stick with Nouveau and 
support the devs.
