Hopefully this machine will now last a while yet and work without having hassles - and when KMS is eventually sorted out for Intel Integrated graphics I even have the opportunity to have twin screens later! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/F10-and-built-in-Intel-graphics-tp22540476p22663864.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
