It tried to tweak its settings, but no success so far. 2) On machine #1 (a netbook with intel GPU), after many hours (could be either 12 or 24 hrs) of xscreensaver activity, the machines "deep freezes" (no local nor remote login possible, Alt-F<X> doesn't react) - Of course, this issue could be caused by something else, but fact is it only happens when xscreensaver is active. On machine #2 (a ca 10 years old PIII w/ a ca. 6 years old nvidia GPU), xscreensaver dumps core after some time. My wild guess would be issues with GL, because Gnome3 crashes immediately and Gnome3/fallback also crashes after some hours. F14/Gnome2 had worked flawlessly. > Hopefully you aren't trying to use gnome-screensaver. > xscreensaver should work fine. It's xscreensaver. >> - EFAIL set desktop background > > Works fine here.

I also can't reproduce it deterministically. Two other issues, I haven't mentioned yet: * xfce's interaction with NetworkManager. The NM configuration I was using under F14/Gnome2 and F15/Gnome3 did not work with F15/xfce. I had to change it to get it working with xfce. * How to get rid of gdm and what to replace it with? Gdm had always been a major nuissance, which had never worked flawlessly, so I am inclined to use switching to xfce as an oportunty to get rid of it, as well. >>> End of problem >> >> Start of new problems ;) > > Sadly, all software has issues. ;) Inevitably ;) Ralf -- 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
