Hi Blu,

I upgraded to fedora 14 today and I'm run into a problem with my video 
card and vmware workstation. For some reason, the vmware workstation 
acts slow, as if its hanging up on a time out condition. As I move the 
vmware window around with a guest running in it, the display update is 
slow and seems to hang my whole display for several seconds while it 
adjusts to the window movement request or mouse focus.

This occurs with the nvidia driver. When I use the nouveau driver, 
vmware works OK, but with my dual monitor set up, the 2nd monitor is not 
properly used.

So I'm thinking maybe I should punt nvidia and try an ati card? Is there 
any ati card which one could recommend for use under fedora 14?

Thanks. Steve.
