Isn't there no xorg.conf by default now? So one will have to create one simply to get ctl+alt+backspace to work? I did a very minimal installation, no Gnome, KDE or XFCE and while I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I don't know if that's the case in a default installation. One thing that I seriously wonder--RedHat has explicitly stated that it doesn't aim towards the desktop, but want the enterprise market, which, one assumes, primarily means servers. I wonder how many of these desktop oriented things that have been cropping up since around F7 are going to go into RH 6? I suspect that many other sysadmins will be extremely bothered by them. Shucks, I'm sounding like a troll here. However, it's a serious concern. Some CentOS using friends and myself are already rather concerned about what RH6 is going to be. Well, Fedora is a developer distribution, so hopefully it's just an idea they're playing with to see how it works. > > So we are really talking here only about setting a totally backwards default. > Whomever came up with that bright idea appears to have an extremely limited > exposure to a real-life PC hardware. As I mentioned earlier, it was one of the things that caused many Aspire One users to consider Linpus a crippled distribution. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Principal Snyder: A lot of educators tell students, 'Think of your principal as your pal' I say, 'Think of me as your judge, jury, and executioner. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
