Further issues with Fedora 10 on my gateway laptop
with radeon M200 video (started with nomodeset).
1) Crash (or x lockup) when trying to run Picasa 3.0
beta the first time. I believe this was the first hard
crash since using nomodeset (maybe one other?).
When I rebooted, I tried starting Picasa again and
it worked (other bugs w/ Picasa 3.0 beta, reported to
Google). The ATI X driver and/or kernel interface
for this driver seem to have issues (others have
reported various lockups...).
2) I changed /etc/inittab to boot to run level 3. After
typing startx, X works fine, however I can't automount
disks. Inserted USB memory stick and it appeared
in the list file manager. I selected Mount and nothing
happened and no error message, just silence. I also
tried mounting my FAT partition on the hard disk and
a USB hard drive -- same results.
After a reboot, I then logged in as root (command line)
and typed telinit 5, X started, and I could automount
my disks.... Was a daemon not running? System should
provide error messages or log something when
it can't mount or do another feature like this.
3) I changed /etc/inittab to boot to run level 5 then
rebooted. The computer still came up in runlevel 3.
I have to login on console as root and type telinit 5.
Is there another setting somewhere?
Thanks,
