Did you report the 'lock-ups'? > I did a fresh install from fedora 15 beta x86_64 DVD iso in a new vm and gnome seemed to be working okay but after yum update and installing "KDE Software Compilation" the gnome desktop became unusable as though all the windows were trying to draw themselves at a 45 degree angle -- even the desktop wallpaper 'stripes' was canted. I had to switch to "multi-user-default" so I could add a new user with KDE. I'm running that right now --it is at least usable but does seem to lockup during high network, audio, and graphic usage. The vbox vm has 2 gigs of ram allotted to it and 128 megs of video, 3d enabled, 2 processors, 64 bit fedora. The host is a dell inspiron laptop, windows 7, intel i5, 6 gigs ram, 1 gig ati video. When it freezes first apps stop responding but the mouse works and you can change between desktops but you can no longer Ctrl + Alt + Fn into console shortly thereafter everything freezes and the machine has to be reset. I'm not sure what to report. The gnome desktop seems to steal all input from the keyboard and mouse I can't even open a new vt to view logs. I've had to hard reset my host, win 7, because I couldn't get out of the frozen gnome desktop. I'll keep messing with it and see if the problem is other than just the vboxvideo but the behaviour seems to indicate that that is it. -J -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
