In the latest version of '''Xorg''' included in this release, if you have a dual monitor setup, your desktop display will span across them instead of using a cloned display by default. This matches the behaviour of other operating systems.

+
+ <para>
+ The better webcam support feature for Fedora 10 did much to improve webcam support in Linux. We now have a library (<application>libv4l</application>) for decompressing various proprietary video formats in user space, and almost all applications that use webcams have been patched to use this library.
