Hello, Since this is my first post on here, let me introduce myself. I'm John Arntz, I joined this list b/c I was interested in suggesting/packaging games for Fedora. I'm not an IT professional, nor have a strong programming background, but I do love Linux and want to see good quality games on Fedora. I have made my own RPM's for my own use, but I would probably need a bit of help if I ever wanted to undertake making a game package good enough for official release. When I do try, I'll be sure to let everyone know.
I did have a comment on the topic of the Bootscreen Discussion:
I got the boot screen with the colored bars across the bottom of the screen. Isn't the solar plymouth plugin supposed to do something nicer during bootup?
I'm running the full x86_64 installation with a NVidia 7950 and I too only get the bar on the bottom when I boot. Looked to try to make sure that the right RPM's were installed for it, it looks like I do, but I am still getting just the bar. I have not tried a standard i386 install or a live CD for F10 yet, so I don't have anything else to compare to.

Try vga=ask in the grub boot prompt and select a mode which makes Plymouth use framebuffer. This doesn't make it flicker free but you will get a nicer progress screen.
