A big congratulations from me to everyone who has worked on this on how far things have come. X11 server configuration has always been the worst part of setting up new Unix boxes and that's very close to being fixed now. > This is a very strong goal for Fedora 10, at least for me.

The X11 setup I got from the Fedora 9 preview had everything basically correct except for the mislabeled big key to the left of the "A" key. The other issues (a Lenovo T60 is supposed to be able to handle 1400x1050 resolution, but I'm not sure why it doesn't work and getting the fglrx driver to work) are separate. > *) Need to be able to pass arbitrary options for input devices (eg, all > the stuff needed for wacom config) > *) Profit :-) > > And there's some ideas on how to deal with both problems, there just > wasn't time left for Fedora 9. > > > > I'm having discussions with someone about this at the moment and would > > appreciate some clarification on where things are head so that this can > > be addressed at their end.[1] With all the stupid-key rich Microsoft oriented keyboards in use now, it would be really nice to have one of the Alt keys produce Alt (the other Meta) and the two Microsoft Windows keys produce Super and Hyper by default (and have an easy knob to tune to put the Ctrl key back in the right place). I need to see how this works with current Japanese input, but I've had difficulty locating Open Wnn for installation to test it. -sb -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
