This discussion is pointless and repetitive.
It *can't* happen, and it *shouldn't* happen; therefore it *won't* happen.
If after all these years and all the explanations and discussions you still
don't understand, there's not much more we can do. Go read this:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ForbiddenItems
Please stop replying to this thread with more opinions. If you don't like
the current situations, preach to users to use alternate hardware, or work
to change the hardware manufacturers' behaviors, or lobby to change US
intellectual property laws. Because those are the only solutions to this
problem.

Hello
I would agree with Shambo that Fedora needs more Nvidia and ATI drivers.
Relying on other repositories like
rpm.livna.org to maintain kernal
compliant drivers is a problem we should easily overcome. I have had
problems trying to compile my own.
Thanks
