What is the status of this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=182396
Furthermore, why doesn't a blocker bug actually "block" anything?
Maybe it's a configuration issue... I don't know.
It doesn't help that no comments have been posted since I attached the
required data.
My point is - for me it is definitely *not* a feature that FC5 will be
unusable out of the box. Arjan's assurance that it's "just a matter of
time before it is broken again" sounds very disturbing to me. Fedora
should be aiming to provide the opposite assurance - "things will work
most of the time". I fail to see why it's a good thing when 3D drivers
have been broken for a large percent of the Linux user base.
