I look at bugs. I know David look(s/ed) at bugs. We just can't get to all of them. This echos your point about community, but I didn't want you to get away with saying that nobody is trying. LiveCDs are pretty useless because demand for them is non-existent. So yes, it is broken and I don't think it works even after some of the recent fixes I sent to livecd-tools. So yeah, no one cares on that. I know I don't, mostly because I'm actually busy with the other stuff. I file bugs on graphics drivers regularly. I know Dave A has been pretty great about helping me get him info to fix the Radeon stuff. I have a bug opened against nouveau right now as well and Ben has been helpful there too (need to get back to that.) If you mean some other driver, then yeah maybe. I can only test/file bugs on hardware I have. >that; well, I don't think Fedora necessarily should be a charity for cases >there's no community for. s/no/a small. Pretending we don't exist isn't exactly kind, but I will admit the few of us that participate are limited in time and resources. josh -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
