I have a mini9, I was very pleased that F11 worked out of the box on it, almos every device recognised, while of course there were plenty of improvements in F12, there have also been some regressions for this machine. === Most annoying is pm-suspend no longer working out of the box, each time I reboot, I have to startup in runlevel3, log in as root on text console manually perform a pm-suspend resume by pressing power button switch to runlevel5 login to Gnome as non-root user after that rigmarole, I can suspend merely by shutting the lid and resume by opening it again, just like F11 managed out of the box https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=542130 Side effect of having to login to the text console first is that the GUI session doesn't get to own the SD card slot. ==== Occasionally when unplugging the power lead (1 in 25 or less frequently) I get the gnome notification "laptop battery critically low the battery is blow the critical level this computer is about to shut down" If my X session is the only logged-on session the machine shuts down with no chance to save work or cancel the shutdown, my workaround for this is to leave another user logged onto a text console, that way the system policy requests root authentication to shut it down and I can cancel it, seems that the battery level can momentarily read as 0% during unplugging, and this panics Gnome Power Management, perhaps it needs to see two consecutive low readings before it initiates shutdown? === Originally I had big issues with the Dell Wireless 5530 HSPA card, after loggin a bug and testing updates from Dan Williams, he got it working, I think there might be a niggle or two left, but recent updates seem to have broken it again, I ought to do some more tests on the current version. === > bluetooth enable/disable work from mjg. The bluetooth on/off toggle was a nice addition to F12, I do get an infrequent issue where blutooth mouse doesn't respond following a suspend/resume, and needs un-pairing/re-pairing before it works again, probably not Dell specific. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
