I tried to upgrade to Fedora Core 2 from Redhat 9, as I needed to upgrade to the latest GTK2.
The result was that the sound card would not work, there was nothing on the desktop (except those items I moved there from the link), X complained about not being able to activate the XKB configurator, Mozilla disappears in a puff of smoke after the starting has finished (no explanation offered), a number of other X applications behave similarly, it seems not to support firewire, and I have not been able to get the LIRC (Linux Remote Control) driver to work with it (though not seeing a light at the end of the tunnel in any other direction I have not tried too hard. Much of this does not overly concern me, but I do need the sound card and LIRC to work. I tried the Soundcard detection under X, which identified the sound card, but could not play the test signal on it. So I rebooted Redhat 9 only to find that the mouse did not work (note: the X desktop now advertises Fedora Core 2), and there were no longer icons for the Desktop items (Home, Trash, Computer). I've managed to add appropriate icons for Home and Computer via the properties, but this option does not exist for Trash. I can live with this, but must have a working mouse. In summary, can anyone help me to either get sound working under Core 2, or the mouse working when I boot RedHat 9, having upgraded to Core 2. Any advice to assist in any of the other problems alluded to would also be appreciated.
