p.s. this is installing f9a x86_64 on an AMD-equipped gateway laptop,
if that's relevant.
Did you try this with a normal user yet or just guest? Several
people have mentioned they had to just 'useradd' from a terminal.
I don't have guest even shown on my machines now and not sure what
changed; the guest login never succeeded anyway.
i just tried guest, so i popped back to a VC, created another account,
and tried to start another graphical login but i can't get rid of the
current blank desktop. heck, i even tried init 3 and init 1 but, when
i came back to runlevel 5, still that "blank" desktop sitting at VC 7.
so i'm rebooting and ...
... ok, there we go, log in as new user, get a couple whiny dialogs
about pulseaudio and i'm in.
that logging in as "guest" is definitely problematic. once i tried
that, it seems i was stuck with it until a full reboot and logging in
under the new account. not good.

ClueX4 request:
When did fedora get a "guest" account?
Or am I misunderstanding this "guest" to be a default installed user like the
terrible security hole MS windows has?
