Description Jerry 2007-02-25 06:49:27 UTC
Description of problem:

Under FC5 video graphics card configured fine and ran great.  Under FC6, the 3D
rendering does not work, making it impossible to run most games and apps like
googlearth.

This is a GeForce2.  From lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15DDR [GeForce2 Ti] (rev a4)

I am not sure this is a kernel issue, anaconda issue, or driver issue, but
something changed between FC5 and FC6 and it worked fine before.

Any pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Well, there's no open source 3D support for nVidia cards yet, so I'm reasonably
sure this is a bug in nVidia's closed source driver.  As such we're not really
capable of fixing it.

If you're just talking about software OpenGL working at all, please reopen this
bug with a description of how the GL apps fails.
