I have the following issues:
Annaconda
My monitor can go to 1600 by 200, Annaconda selects it. My eyes cannot
go, even with glasses, to 1600x200, Why not select 1024x768, so that
one can watch the progress with crt monitor or with wide aspect ration
flat Panel?
I think anaconda should use some "reasonable value" checking, and choose the
default which is 4:3, 16:9, or 5:4 aspect ratio, no more than 1024 high. This
gives priority to the human, who can then change the selection if s/he can only
read the screen!
Before giving the go-ahead to start the installation, it would be
nice
to tell the user how many files will be installed and to allow a review.
(The right click on details to choose all is dangerous (and not
documented as a great feature) -- After right clicking my areas of
interest, I ended up with 2700+ files, and many hours of downloads. All
went well.)
Default Display Screen Size.
After DVD removal and reboot to create users, again resolution is
painfully small.
What I said before, catering to the computer rather than the user.
Setting Screen Resolution (user Preferences)
I have a 21 inch monitor, but I want to use the first 4/3 aspect ratio
above the 1024/768. Fedora switches to it ok, but I need a full set of
refresh rates, so I can properly align the display in the window (The
setting I chose works with UBUNTU on the same system).
This is all part of the same issue, isn't it? That part of the install has yet
to work in a user friendly manner on any of my machines.
Using Gnome, I am blocked from logging directly to root.
Most of the time, I find it faster to do things via gui interface then
via commandline. Since I cannot log to the system with Root privledges,
functionalty is lost.
Oh use su or read the list, the answer has been posted at least twice.
Audio feedback when system is booted.
From poweron to logon screen ready, Fedora used to provide a System
ready sound configuration. Now, deadly silence. One has to watch the
screen, instead of waiting to hear the ready signal. (Works correctly
with UBUNTU).
You have something set up wrong. I have all the video problems, but sound works.
At least as well as PulseAudio ever works...
