I refrained from commenting on nautilus ml to not post "off-topic" ;) the current version of GNOME 3 live image is based on openSUSE 11.3 which is shipping with 2.6.34 kernel. I don't want to disappoint you but upgrading kernel is not going to improve 3D performance, since the 3D processing is done in Mesa, not in kernel. Anyway, next release of GNOME 3 will have latest stable upstream kernel (2.6.37) and updated X11 server and driver, thanks to openSUSE Build Service. It should be available this week (hopefully today or tomorrow). -- Frederic Crozat _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
