This is the expected behaviour on Fermi chipsets in Fedora 15. The acceleration support in nouveau that's shipped with F15 requires the use of a few binary firmware blobs taken from traces of the NVIDIA binary driver. This issue has just been fixed upstream for a number of chipsets, but requires quite a bit more testing before I'd be comfortable adding it to F15. |
