<p dir="ltr">I would LOVE to toss broadcom to the street, but the Mac book pro has it and centos7 and Fedora 21 are much happy making for me than osx.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The older mbp has an intermediate nvidia (ge 9400m) card not supported by 343 in rpmfusion or elrepo. It is not supported either in the 304 series. Nvidia has a 340.xx driver that loads but gnome doesn't like it and displays nothing over the default X background. So nouveau for the older mbp with fedora 21.</p>

They still assume everyone is using Intel architecture, so their closed source drivers are useless for anyone using ARM, MIPS or PPC based hardware.</div><div><br></div><div>Ray</div><div><br></div><br></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
