The ''i810'', ''mga'', ''r128'', ''savage'', ''sis'', ''tdfx'', and ''unichrome'' DRI drivers are no longer supplied, as Mesa no longer includes them. Affected hardware includes variants of the following devices:
 
* Intel i810 and i815 motherboard chipsets
* Matrox MGA G200, G400, G450 and G550 cards
* ATI Rage 128 cards
* S3 Savage 3D and Savage 4 cards
* SiS 300, 540, 630, and 730 chipsets
* 3dfx Voodoo 3, Voodoo 4, and Voodoo 5 cards
* VIA Unichrome and Unichrome Pro chipsets
 
This hardware is now supported by the ''llvmpipe'' software 3D driver which, unlike the older DRI drivers, exposes OpenGL 2.x functionality.

This beat is now ready to have Fedora 25 content added by the beat writer


Software Rendering for GNOME Shell

The GNOME Shell experience is now available on all hardware, including those using software rendering. Users still wishing to use GNOME's fallback mode can enable it manually by accessing the System Info control panel applet, selecting Graphics, and setting the Forced Fallback Mode option to ON.

Multitouch Support

The X server and libraries in Fedora 17 support version 2.2 of the XInput extension, this includes multi-touch support. Applications that choose to will now be able to take advantage of multi-touch support on Fedora.

DRI2 Drivers

The i810, mga, r128, savage, sis, tdfx, and unichrome DRI drivers are no longer supplied, as Mesa no longer includes them. Affected hardware includes variants of the following devices:

  • Intel i810 and i815 motherboard chipsets
  • Matrox MGA G200, G400, G450 and G550 cards
  • ATI Rage 128 cards
  • S3 Savage 3D and Savage 4 cards
  • SiS 300, 540, 630, and 730 chipsets
  • 3dfx Voodoo 3, Voodoo 4, and Voodoo 5 cards
  • VIA Unichrome and Unichrome Pro chipsets

This hardware is now supported by the llvmpipe software 3D driver which, unlike the older DRI drivers, exposes OpenGL 2.x functionality.
