Does 3D rendering work?

Officially: No. Unofficially: 3D might work depending on your card type and lots of other things. At the moment the rawhide dri (mesa) is version 6.5.2. This means the nouveau_dri module is not installed and so no 3D operations will be accelerated. If you install an unofficial mesa snapshot from here , some simple 3D applications might work, for instance glxgears works at about 300fps on a GeForce Go 7300. [1] You can tell if you are using DRI using glxinfo | grep direct. For some very new cards, an updated DRM snapshot will be required. Fedora already patches in the latest nouveau drm functionality into the kernel SRPM, and the patch will be updated as new cards are supported. Texture mapping will also not work (requries TTM), so don’t expect you can run any OpenGL games just yet. Please don’t file bugs in the fedora bugzilla if you are using unofficial or snapshot packages.
