There will be enhanced support for DisplayPort in X and kernel drivers for NVIDIA hardware. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort DisplayPort] is a new digital display connector and protocol. While much more capable than DVI, it's also much more complicated, and some work is needed to take advantage of it. Fedora 13 introduces DisplayPort support for NVIDIA graphics chipsets.

As a benefit to Fedora users DisplayPort has a higher link bandwidth than dual-link DVI. Monitors can take advantage of this by providing higher resolutions, higher color depths, and higher refresh rates. DisplayPort also runs at a lower voltage than DVI and LVDS, using less power. Future laptops will likely switch to embedded DisplayPort for the local panel for this reason. With this feature, Fedora users can take advantage of the technical superiority of DisplayPort on NVIDIA hardware.
