vesa driver or updated kernel
by Parrish M Myers
Hello,
I'm not sure which it is... but since I have updated to the new
versions of the 2.6 kernel, the vesa driver is verry flakey! As soon
as I logout the screen goes black, and all I can do is reboot. It also
happens when I try to change to a console via ctrl-alt-1. Has anyone
else experienced this?
for help, I have an ATI Radeon IGP 320M on a hp pavilion ze4315us.
Thanks.

Test 2 summary for Thinkpad 600
by Alan Cox
IBM Thinkpad 600 Update from FC1
- CD boot only works with floppy drive attached (as with other stuff) so
probably a BIOS issue
- Had to use APM not ACPI
Good:
o Gnome desktop seems to work pretty well
o Most general system stuff works well and its quite usable
o Install hit a couple of problems but mostly worked
o Wireless just worked
Bad:
o Lots of translations have not been merged despite being
present for ages. In fact some of them have been translated for
RH first, then their equivalent for Debian and Debian packages
still get out first
** Other translators definitely need to check each app and file
bugs if there translation is missing **
o Several translation master pot files appear stale on i18 cvs
o Up2date still has bad bugs unfixed from before FC1, and added some
new ones. Right now its been stuck installing system-config-httpd
for an hour! (and I had to kill it)
General:
o Config tools still seem fairly flakey.
Initial problems I've found:
- Welsh translation missing from installer (didnt know Jeremy needed a
table of data)
- Due to another bug it failed to find swap so reported I didn't have
enough swap and talked about 2.4 swap needs (#119607)
- Screwed up partitioning. This is parted mess as fdisk is fine
(not filed, several existing reports)
- Translations missing from system-config-network (#119610)
- Translations missing from system-config-authentication
- System-config-authentication hangs mysteriously for several minutes with
NIS but no NIS server, and wont even update UI
[Couldnt find which package it is in bugzilla]
- system-config-network spews errors on activating orinoco wireless but
works
- system-config-date: deprecation warning (#119612)
- system-config-display: some translation bits missing, investigating with
cy translators
- up2date: still full of bugs dating back to FC1 and earlier, also missing
cy and possibly other translations (#119615)
- system-config-mouse: translations appear stale, checking
- system-config-packages: translations missing. As with many system-*
apps still has awful refresh handling problems. (#119618)
- system-config-printer: translations missing (#119619)
- system-config-proc: thinks its called sysctlcfg, weird fonts, weird ui
and full of broken English like "Ripped of powertweak" [Powertweak btw
is a trademark] (#119621)
- system-config-services: some translations missing, investigating
- system-config-services: spews errors (#119624)
- system-config-services: missing glade file (#119622)
- system-config-services: help button does not work (#119623)
- system-config-time: deprecation warning as per config-date
- system-config-users: translation missing (#119626)
- system-logviewer: prints an error on startup (#119627)

getting out of x
by Joel Grimes
Noob question here - and forgive me for ranting, but it's just KILLING me!
How do I get the hell out of X? I've become so frustrated with that
damned automatic-restart-x thing that i wanted to resort to violence.
When, out of desparation, I hit ctrl-alt-backspace it keeps reloading
it. When I do that you'd think it would GET THE POINT THAT I WANT OUT!
(arg!.... I feel better now)
