It is a commentary that computers which ran using Fedora drivers in FC6 thru FC9 
now must use vendor drivers or run in VESA mode. Was that not clear in the above 
quoted 1st paragraph? Hardware which was new less than four years ago no longer 
has the same functionality it did.

I mention it because people flame if someone suggests using vendor drivers which 
work.
