</div>Try Nouveau first and if that works for you, stick with that. Nouveau provides<br>
limited 3D support. I think you still need to install<br>
mesa-dri-drivers-experimental to get 3D for Nouveau.<br></blockquote><div><br>
You said to try nouveau first, where would I get the drivers for that?
is it the default driver from xorg? If not, where and how would I
install and use it?<br>
<br>
I know that mesa-dri-drivers-experimental is a package that I can download and install from fedora correct?<br>

If you need more performance or if 3D is buggy for the stuff you want to<br>
do, then try the nVidia drivers using rpmfusion packages.<br></blockquote><div><br>
If I need to go to this route, how would I know which package to install from rpmfusion???<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
