The /xorg-x11-drv-psb/ package do not exist in my Fedora's repositories, do I have to add something? Oh! and today is the Graphics test day for F14 And someone just tested an Intel GMA x3100 card with all the tests passed... The GMA x3100 is just the mobile version of my Graphics card as far as I understand. Does this means that if I install F14 I'm going to have a Transparent KDE and Full 3D Graphics support?
I tested with Compiz and Metacity compositing. Both of those worked. So assuming that Transparent KDE uses the same compositing extensions, it should be working.
I can't speak to VMWare Player. That may require a different set of 3D extensions or a particular version of OpenGL support.
It really should be noted that Intel is not the ideal source for 3D graphics. Intel's graphics chipsets, while solid, tend to be extremely low-performance in the 3D department when compared to nVidia and AMD products.
Of course, on the flip side, Intel actually aids in the development of the free open-source drivers, while nVidia and AMD primarily offer closed-source-only solutions, leaving the community to guess at the open-source implementations.
