Regressions suck. If avoiding them was my highest priority I wouldn't be
running Fedora. 3D using open source drivers has never really been good.
(And using proprietary drivers has always had its own kind of suck.)
I'm not talking 3D, I'm talking using a gnome-terminal, viewing a few
640x480 15fps security files from the motion sensing camera, etc.Worked
in FC9. Not interesting, not sexy, etc. You worry about 3D being good, I
worry about X working. At all.
