Display issues
Hi, I cannot see a pattern as yet, so I can't do anything reproducibly, but with a Wayland login at times I get a series of waves of display failures (background showing through windows but with a refresh feel to it) always going top to bottom sometimes seemingly going slightly left sometimes slightly right (which may be an artefact of the set of windows open at the time). Is anyone else seeing anything at all similar? -- Russel. = Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Unless you provide something more specific than 'reasonable' and 'not reasonable' as descriptions of the modes in question, I really can't say. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

Fine, since there is no other way to get a "display" entry in the "Administration" menu, does that mean if the system makes totally inappropriate choices on video I should go to another distribution, or is there some secret way (ie. not available on the admin menu) to get a reasonable display setting? And while I'm at it, why can the installer use a reasonable video mode but the OS boot doesn't? Your typical user isn't going to boot in single user, create an Xorg.conf file, and edit it to sanity with vi. -- Bill Davidsen "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

This isn't particularly surprising, as no-one wants to maintain it any more. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
Display issues running FC14a3 under KVM
I booted the Live-CD under KVM and after a bit of minor testing did an install from that, using the "install" off the default user home page. The system boots and runs, but I get odd display warnings. At startup I get a warn of using a 1x1 window (and being smart enough to not do it), then when I install and try to run system-config-display I get an error in the running of the package. I put this stuff in http://www.tmr.com/~davidsen/FC14/ if anyone wants to see it screen shots, since developers are pedaling pretty fast already, I thought I'd wait for another alpha or beta to file in CZ, and just note here in case someone finds the info useful. -- Bill Davidsen "We can't solve today's problems by using the same thinking we used in creating them." - Einstein -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
