I have stock F15 (stage4) running on my OLPC, but with the OLPC
kernel. No binary blobs for X *needed* if you don't mind plain fb
speed. This is similar to the x86/nvidia/nouveau situation, where
fedora *can* run as-is, but proprietary drivers can improve
performance.
I'm aware of the fb but its not really the nouveau as it will run full
3D (gnome-shell), there's not a massive difference in perf for the
average desktop user, the fb isn't too bad but its no where near as
nice as the other driver. Their kernel is a blocker anyway for a
standard fedora release.
