Screen tearing, install xorg-x11-drv-XXX by default on KDE spin as it uses X11.

[Jonathan Rioux]

I had screen tearing issue on vertical screens with F30.
As KDE spin uses X11 instead of Wayland, perhaps installing automatically  :
xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-390xx
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau
xorg-x11-drv-intel
xorg-x11-drv-vmware
xorg-x11-drv-ati
...
by using a detection script during install so the experience can be smooth. Would it be
possible ? 
I didn't look if they where on the Fedora-Live media.

The last 4 are already installed by default.  I don't know why -amdgpu 
isn't.

-nvidia-390xx is not in fedora (but rpmfusion-nonfree)

Moreover, xorg-x11-drv-intel is not the preferred choice for many users, where
the modesetting driver provides better results.

Ok, so will KDE spin include xorg-x11-drv-amdgpu for next versions then ?
Thanks

Not necessarily.

First, as a distribution, fedora doesn't install that by default anywhere.  
Either that's an oversight or on purpose.

Second, *if* any chance is to be made, a justification needs to be provided, 
whether that be for fedora as whole or for kde spin specifically.

Is anyone able and interested in gathering answers for those 2 questions?
