I saw another user mentioning the same problem on the #fedora-devel IRC channel, so it's not just my system. That's a BIOS bug then, I guess. I don't think kernel devs will bother fixing stuff like that if a BIOS update fixes it. > - I have a video card, which is identified as ATI Mobility Radeon HD > 3450, with it the system hangs completely after a minute or two of > desktop use.

My blog posting: > <http://vpv.kapsi.fi/blog/2009/10/fedora-12-beta-and-ati-radeon-hd-3450-nomodeset-needed/>. I would bet on second bug. KMS bugs are very much card-specific, and first is even reported on NVIDIA (comments on it are different bugs, probably). > What do you think, should we maybe add something to the release notes > about the Fedora 12 kernel possibly requiring BIOS updates on some > systems?

I will let someone else answer this. -- Vedran Miletić -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
