“Fedora 13 Alpha was released yesterday with a plethora of new
features and updated packages for this Red Hat Linux distribution.
Aside from the features like Btrfs system rollback support and
PolicyKit One support for Qt/KDE applications to excite end-users,
each Fedora release always pulls in the very latest Linux graphics
code. Fedora was the first distribution shipping with the Nouveau
driver, then its KMS driver, and now with Fedora 13 it’s the first
OS deploying Nouveau’s Gallium3D driver (there’s benchmarks behind
that link). Fedora 13 is also carrying the latest packages for the
unreleased X Server 1.8, DisplayPort monitor support for more
graphics cards, the latest ATI driver code from the xf86-video-ati
DDX to the in-development DRM, and then there is the very latest
Intel work too. To get an idea for the direction that the Intel 3D
support is heading in this release, we have carried out a few quick
OpenGL benchmarks.”
