Just some thoughts from my observations over time. It isn't the kernel, because it reserves space for 16 graphics devices. My guess is that you are a victim of obsolescence vs the developers. They have newer hardware and specific configurations, they therefore test with newer hardware and specific configurations, and when regressions occur because of ongoing development, they don't notice them. They aren't deliberately trying to degrade your experience, but the end result is the same. When these things fail, you can look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log after boot, and see why they failed. Then open a bugzilla against either the driver or Xorg, and work with them when or if they contact you to resolve the issue. Certainly not definitive, but a possible solution. You could revert to older versions of software that supported the configuration you want to run. Or versions that are supported for longer periods of time (CentOS or Scientific Linux). You can purchase hardware similar to that of the developers. ;-) You can become a developer or tester for the developers. :-) In short, none of the solutions are very palatable. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
