Is Fedora supposed to be able to run on an Aspire One netbook? I bootet a
recent rawhide snapshot which seems to work well but when X start I just
get a black screen and a busy pointer.

I don't know about F13, but I had no problems with what was probably F9
or F10. (Around then, I gave the AA1 to my better half and got myself
an Asus 1000HE.)
On the forums, there's at least one fellow running F12 without issues.

FWIW, no problems with lxde-i386-20100222.19.iso on a live USB stick

I should add, that I (almost) always turn off selinux, as I did in the trial
above.
Tried it again without turning off selinux - it wasn't pretty. Several kernel
crashes reported by abrt, no nm-applet displayed (but nm-applet was
apparently running) so couldn't get a network connection, various dbus
errors, no tty2-tty6, telinit 3 failed.

It should work very well but it depends on your particular model. If you
have one with a Atom Z series chip you'll have problems but all the rest
should work out of the box for basically everything. Let me know your model
number and I can tell you more. The soon to be released F-13 alpha should
work fine.

It's a 751h model with an Atom Z520 CPU. I tested an F12 live-cd and that
works but the F13 one doesn't. Unfortunately the graphics chip doesn't seem
to be supported which makes the desktop extremely slow. I found that the
driver was apparently once available in RPMFusion but it was never released
for F12+. Trying to rebuild the psb-kmod just gave me a message that it
doesn't like the i386 architecture.

I maintain psb. It doesn't work on F12. There's no way it can unless
someone who actually knows how to code ports it to X server 1.7. It just
isn't written to work with F12's X.org.

I own one, and it certainly didn't run out of the box on F12. There's a
wiki page documenting our woes:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Acer_Aspire_One
If you learn anything new about how to get F13 to run smoothly, your
shared experiences would be valuable.

That's a bug in the last couple of days of snapshots, not
system-specific. It's a bug in selinux-policy. It should be OK in
upcoming nightlies (as long as the fixed package gets pushed).

Is Fedora supposed to be able to run
on an Aspire One netbook?
It is! I have one but I run Fedora 12 stable on it. I have already tested pre Fedora 12
and went with too many ups and downs on it.
I bootet a
recent rawhide snapshot which seems to work well but when X
start I just
get a black screen and a busy pointer.
I saw this happen several times and I had no network with wireless and had to use wired
connection to apply updates to see if things would improve or not via updates. This is
sadly happening right now with nouveau/and openchrome updates. One update fixes one but
breaks the other :(

Dennis
