I think that's the same Adam as has the 'happy assassin' site I just linked to; it seems from these links that he has been trying to solve this problem in F10, F11, and F12. He may know what the situation is for F13 (and F14). regards, Ron _______________________________________________ laptop mailing list laptop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/laptop
