Fedora 10 installation issues
by Kevin Kempter 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Hi All; I'm trying to instal Fedora10 on my new laptop but I've run into a few issues. It's a Dell Precision M6400 - I'm running KDE I have 2 issues: 1) I cannot get the full screen resolution I can go to administration --> display and under the 'Hardwae' tab I can configure the display as a generic or as a Dell 1920x1200 but no matter what I choose the 'Settings' tab only lets me choose a max of 1400x1050 2) system notification sound works, and rhythmbox sound works but no other sound / players work such as amaok or Kaffiene Thanks in advance for any help ...

Laptop support in F10
by Fastie 27 Nov '08

27 Nov '08

Hi So I have been running F10 from the 4 Nov and last night I did the last updates for F10, witch I think is now the F10 release. And over the few weeks I have notice that Laptop support is coming and going. >From my view I have to say that we lost all the worked that has been done on the laptop-support in F9 in this release. I have raised this before and it sort of came back but now it is all gone again. My laptop is not even going in suspend mode when I close the lid. No laptop buttons is working, and they where all working in F9 with not doing anything. This is very disappointing for me that use my laptop for business. It feels like I am back in the 90's where I need to boot up and shut down every time I move between offices. Has Laptop support been kicked out in favour for something ells? C

Hi On F9 All my buttons on my laptop worked or sort of worked. Have this support been removed in F10 cause none is working on my HP 6320. But also no suspend on the lid close works.. Is there something that I need to get this back to working? Chris
