There are certainly issues with X11 graphics in F12. On 4 different
systems I have installed it on 3 do not work in 3D (System hangs, etc).
2 of the systems have hangs (X11 and/or system) in 2D.
If you don't mind my using your problem as a hook to hang an opinion on:
You have had graphics problems with 3 out of 4 machines.
Personally, I have had no graphics problems with Fedora-12/KDE
on 5 machines, though I have had other minor (and unimportant) problems.
But how rare or common is your experience?
Have only 5% of Fedora users had graphics problems with F-12?
Or is it 50%? Or 75%?
I don't see how it is possible to plan development rationally
without some idea of the statistics.
