One worry I have is that there are a lot of hardware out there with
(currently) unsupported video cards and, in this case, first impressions
matter. If someone new to Fedora or linux gives it a try and can't even
get a single OpenGL-accelerated game running, that could do more harm
than good.

Of course, there's really nothing we can do about it at this point, but
I was wondering if there was a better way to mitigate the problem (like
add instructions on the error dialog for getting the needed drivers in
as few steps as possible).

Otherwise you may as well call the release
3D-Games-For-Intel-and-other-open-source-friendly-hardware-vendors
Release.
