I have F19 on a T30 Thinkpad, installed by fedup from F18 (which ran fine), and running xfce4 with some software from Gnome and KDE (such as gnome-terminal) also installed. The display has elephantiasis, as if it were on a screen big enough to cover the room wall. It is a deep reddish brown (on black), and hard to see despite the absurd magnification. It's also way slow, at least when I use its own keyboard and mouse. I have my desktop PC connected to it over ssh -Y; it seems to respond at a normal rate here. (But, despite the -Y, I can't get to any display other than a terminal, on the PC any more than on the laptop. Or, maybe, I just don't know how.) . Maybe the following, from the PC, will tell someone something : [root@T30 ~]# startx xauth: file /root/.serverauth.7562 does not exist X.Org X Server 1.14.3 Release Date: 2013-09-12 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: 3.10.9-200.fc19.x86_64 Current Operating System: Linux T30.localdomain 3.11.1-200.fc19.i686.PAE #1 SMP Sat Sep 14 15:20:42 UTC 2013 i686 Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-0- rescue-1d7352e603b24d77a5b516b0204a434a root=/dev/mapper/vg_t30-lv_root ro rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 KEYTABLE=us SYSFONT=True rd.lvm.lv=vg_t30/lv_swap rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rd.lvm.lv=vg_t30/lv_root rhgb quiet Build Date: 16 September 2013 12:43:28AM Build ID: xorg-x11-server 1.14.3-1.fc19 Current version of pixman: 0.30.0 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
