Default Fedora 9 Sulpher: First Impression

Hello,

Fedora is my favorite distribution, so I've followed it since version
5 and forward.
I'm preferring KDE desktop, but GNOME is very good also. Issues I had so far
with Sulpher is a) Not having full power to my Radeon HD 3870 and b) Some
strange problems with my network card (embedded on my motherboard) when
IPv6 is enabled.

I've been comparing Ubuntu, Mandriva and Fedora on my machine, and the
only distro that enables full throttle to Radeon is Ubuntu (by
installing propriety
driver from its repository).

Besides that, I've only used Suplher some few hours now, so I am still poking
around in the system to get a more detailed feel about the whole thing.

Great Work!!!!!!

Best Regards,
Jan

Very happy that you guys are trying out the distribution. However, you
should discuss these topics on fedora-list, and not the lists intended
for discussion of infrastructure, marketing, and translation.
Thanks! :-)

Default Fedora 9 Sulpher: First Impression

Great work guys, F9 basically rocks. The "Fast-X" feature .. is sooo yummy I can't believe I lived with that ugly flicker the past decade. Also kde-4 .. soo cool, although we all agree it needs more polish. However, I am facing a perhaps higher than usual number of potential bugs! I will detail below, and you decide:


- GDM has no shortcut key for "Login" button, while the "Cancel" button right beside it has the C underlined! That hurts my eyes
- GDM does not remember the last session! So, I always need to choose kde4

- /media/windows-ntfs-drive/ is not automounted when KDE is started. So, okular starts and tries to open the pdf book I was reading, but fails! Not sure if that's a kde bug or a system one. But when I start KDE file manager, and click that directory, it mounts and opens fine!

- network service not brining bridge devices up or similar (I will detail in a separate thread)
- kernel not powering off my toshiba A105 S361 laptop upon shutdown! (grr .. this keeps coming and going on all 2.6 kernels)

- Synaptics driver not "tapping" enabled! This remains a bug to me even though people on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=437609 seem to have found a work around. Since Fedora changed the default behaviour, could we at least get a release notes section on how to activate tapping

- Firefox3b5 sometimes showing solid color stripes over text, rendering it unreadable .. well, it is still in beta

Other than those, F9 still rox

If you use KDE you should switch to KDM. It will preload kdelibs
making kde start a tiny bit faster, and also remembers default
session.

P.S. Shortcut to "login" button is "Enter" =)
