Hello, New kernel version 2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64 in combination with xorg-x11-drv-nouveau Version:0.0.16 is somehow painfully slow on my laptop. during start up it takes almost half a minute for gnome login to appear. After having logged in the following happens: - gnome top and bottom panels "slide/crawl" in to view one pixel line at a time. - starting the terminal takes much more time, 10-15, sometimes even up to 20 seconds. - Firefox also takes much longer to start. Removing xorg-x11-drv-nouveau seems to resolve this "slowness" but then my attached monitor does not work. Anyone else experiencing this issue or know how to fix/troubleshoot? -- Regards, Darod Zyree

As long as nVidia drivers are closed source and proprietary, they will never be in Fedora. I wouldn't know about RHEL, though, they might decide whatever they want to do. However, some main Nouveau developers are employed by RH, so I wouldn't bet on RHEL importing nVidia drivers. HTH, :-) Marko
