It's a couple years old but still good.
Hey, that's pretty good. Don't see any big mistakes, and they even got the i740 in there. Solid 8 or 9 out of 10 I'd say.
I've owned far too many of those...
Same here.
Anyway, back to the original problem of seeing my old laptop with NVidia GeForce FX 5600 graphics work with F17.
I tried the following live cds with these results:
Fedora 15 i686 Live: graphics work Fedora 16 i686 Live: graphics work Fedora 17-alpha i686 Live: graphics fail
So whatever got broken appeared to happen between F16 and F17 - at least for my FX card.
Question then would be, can I do a yum upgrade to go from F16 to F17 or F18 if things aren't fixed for F17?
