Ideas? > > My pet bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=491781 ---- it's not as if I couldn't install in many other ways, nfs/http/yum_upgrade but I didn't see any work arounds suggested either. I don't need to have F11-Beta installed on this Aspire One...I was thinking that I could see if xorg fixed virtual scrolling as suggested here... http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2009-March/044290.html where Alex says "Virtual desktop scrolling got dropped when xrandr 1.2 support was added to the driver. It has since been re-added, but requires xserver 1.6 and xrandr 1.3." because it's hard to use 1024x600 without some extra virtual screen but I don't know that those versions are in F11-Beta anyway and thought if I went for the Beta, I could provide other feedback (and if necessary, beg for these updates). Thanks Paul, I should have looked in Bugzilla...
