Hi test list, I'm having big problems with F10 beta in that it causes my laptop to lock up. I installed from the Live CD as I read that there were problems installing from the normal installation media. After installing, the first problem I encountered was that the initial welcome screens (where you create a user, set date and time etc...) were not displayed correctly in that the resolution was incorrect and the Back/Forward buttons were off the screen so I could not find where to click them. I resolved this by adding the "nomodeset" option to the kernel boot args. After that, the screen went black and the system locked up, I couldn't get to a command line, caps lock didn't work. I rebooted with default kernel args and it came up OK. Now I can log in, connect to a wireless network and do most things but there seem to be some serious issues with gnome or X. If I start gnome-terminal it works fine but if I try to resize a window, the system locks up again. Things get even worse if I try to update to the latest rawhide. If I do so, the system fails to boot. The loading screen is shown with the animated infinity symbol but then the animation freezes and I can't do anything. I think it gets quite a long way through the boot before failing. I was also finding that Escape wasn't showing me the boot process so I don't know where it failed. I've since re-installed the F10 beta so that I could upload my smolt profile for your information. It is here: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_e4a528ee-3a0a-47fd-8687-51b37f5382b0 Any thought about how I can go about figuring out what the problem is? The fact that it reliably freezes when I resize a window suggests an X or gnome problem. I might try installing xfce now to see if I have the same problems with a different window manager. Ah, some more information, Fedora 7 used to work fine on my laptop but I never managed to get F8 or F9 working. The symptoms were similar in that lockups occurred but they were usually before I could even log in to a desktop manager.
