I have a question about the 3d nouveu driver. in fedora 13 it was an easy to install experimental package. so, after all the testing, will the 3d nouveu become a stable auto-installed package or is it still in the mesa-experimental (in fedora 14). And if it is experimental, how much progress has it made? i'M sorry if i posted this in the wrong section of the forum.

my guess is it maybe installed by default in F15 as the new Gnome-shell will depend on it being installed as it needs 3D to work, its still considered as experimental at the moment, however i think Rahul and or Adam would be better off to answer it to its fullest.

My guess is fedora 14 3d support will be fairly awesome but spotty troubled. With fedora 15 being mostly usable by most of the installed based.
Just guessing based on how they've done in the past.

thank you, and though this is kind of random...does fedora come with ndiswrapper installed? because i need it to install my wifi card and ethernet really isn't an option (my laptop's ethernet jack doesn't work anymore)

thanks again
