Should Rawhide switch back to a supported version of X.org,
or at least make it an option? Much of what makes a desktop
contemporary depends on features in the Nvidia driver not
presented in the nv driver.
I Googled around and didn't find any explanation of what
fantastic wonders await us with the new ABI. I did get the
impression the new X.org ABI isn't even settled yet, let alone
finished and implemented.
If that is true, perhaps Fedora should stick with a working
version of X until the support for the New X is there. Or at
least provide a working (e.g., Compiz et al.) X as a choice.
