Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2011-02-28 16:18:34 UTC 
Fedora includes what graphics drivers it can include in the system already, so there's nothing really for it to search for.

Since we cannot include proprietary drivers, (and cannot support them once they are installed) there's no reason to search for them.
