G'day, My Fedora 10, Gateway MX6421 laptop with Radeon Xpress 200M video is no longer usable under Linux. The wife is less than happy and is using XP until I can get Linux stable on this machine. Until last month, this laptop ran for several years with Fedora 6 and was very stable (up nearly 100% on the coffee table as the family Internet access box).
The machine has the latest Fedora updates as of last night. The kernel mode line does not include a vga= item and I added nomodeset to it (this helps but does not fix the machine). When using Firefox, after a few minutes the machine becomes unresponsive. The mouse still moves but I can't click on anything. I can't kill the X server (ctrl-alt-backspace) nor access other multiscreens (ctrl-alt-F1, F2, etc.). Even the caps lock fails to light so the keyboard driver may be toast. I have yet to try to ssh to the box but basically it is toast, requiring a hard reboot. I have added my comments onto Bugzilla (bug 467821). I'm stuck -- any help would be appreciated. -- Wade Hampton -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
