== DisplayPort ==
 
DisplayPort is a new digital display connector and protocol that is much more capable than DVI. Fedora 13 introduces DisplayPort support for NVIDIA and ATI Radeon 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.
 
 
=== Nouveau DisplayPort ===
 
There is enhanced support for DisplayPort in X and kernel drivers for NVIDIA hardware. DisplayPort is a new digital display connector and protocol.
Details of this feature may be found on the Fedora Wiki at http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NouveauDisplayPort.
 
 
=== Radeon DisplayPort ===
There is also enhanced support for the DisplayPort in X and kernel drivers for Radeon hardware. Refer to: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RadeonDisplayPort.
 
 
== Third-party Video Drivers ==
Refer to the Xorg third-party drivers page for detailed guidelines on using third-party video drivers: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Xorg/3rdPartyVideoDrivers
 
===[[Features/RadeonDisplayPort| Radeon DisplayPort]]===
 
There will be enhanced support for the DisplayPort in X and kernel drivers for Radeon 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.
