So after a bit of hacking on 2, we've come to the conclusion that 1 isn't really necessary. It looks really good to just keep 2 up until gdm would normally start. We don't need to start it earlier in the boot process. A lot of the bits are in rawhide now, but the graphical bits won't be really testable until the drm modesetting drivers get added back to rawhide. --Ray -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
