Fedora as a distro doesn't have nothing to do with such complains as they happen due a lack of proper driver implementation as some companies still refuses to support linux or because a software component is not working properly. In both cases Fedora doesn't directly develop the drivers or the components that doesn't work and you should get your complain to the upstream projects so they can fix it sometime or fill a bug report to Fedora so they can report upstream and apply patches as the come in.
WH: Huh? proprietary stuff?? No idea what you are talking about unless you mean the hardware.

WH: I'm running RHEL which is more stable. But I like to do other work on Fedora and was hoping Fedora 10 was more stable. I realize there are a lot of different hardware platforms out there and it is difficult to support. I'm a bit surpprised because there are so many Lenova T6x around I thought that it would have been tested more and there more stable.
TBW this seemed to get worse the last few weeks so I wonder if some of my updates made the issue much more frequent.
Best,
William

F10 on Lenovo T61 issue
by William Henry
Hi,
I've seen others have this problem and I've seen a BZ regarding it. Its the "mouse still moves but can't do anything with the keyboard or mouse input' problem. Requires a hardware reboot.
I've given up on Fedora for a while until I see this fixed. I don't have time for multiple reboots a day and the risk of losing data.
I've also seen issues with NetworkManager.
I'm sadly disappointed with F10.

William

Sound on laptop docking station
by William M. Quarles
Hey all,
Does anybody out there on these three lists know how to get Fedora to
reroute the sound from my laptop's speakers to the line out on the
docking station to which the laptop is connected? I'm using a Dell
Latitude C640 with a Dell C Dock II. The other outputs are software
activated usually, but the signals still come from the laptop's
integrated sound card (i.e. there is no actual sound hardware installed
in the docking station).
Thanks,
William

OpenJDK issue
by Major Péter
Hi all,
I have a Fedora 10 install on my computer and I would like to get rid of
OpenJDK (because it's much slower then Sun's JDK and the update packages
are rarely coming out).
My main problem is that I am using maven build tools which has a depend
to OpenJDK (even if I don't use with it, I changed every symlink
referring to OpenJDK in /usr/lib/jvm and /usr/java). So is there a way
to remove completely OpenJDK without having removed maven (and ant,
eclipse) tools. So can these java project depend on besides OpenJDK, for
example on Sun's JDK too (so when I want to install e.g. maven next time
can I choose between them?)?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Peter Major

I'm very new to this Live CD concept. What is a Live CD, and how do I make it? Why wouldn't the memory test on the installation disc work instead?
(Remember to "Reply All" when you write back, Brian, so it makes it to the list).

Compaq Presario F700
by Brandon Thomas
Hello Everyone,
Not sure if anyone else happens to have the Compaq Presario F700 sold by
Wal-Mart. If you do, and you happen to run Fedora 10 does your plymouth
stick? Here is what I have thus discovered and the scenarios:
1. During startup, plymouth with stop right at the beginning.
2. I press ESC and plymouth steps through its first item, Reading
Physical volumes.
3. I hold the Alt key down until udev has started at which point it
still requires me to give some type of input (I just hold Alt down) if
the AC power is not plugged in; otherwise it begins booting just fine.
I also had this same issue when trying to install Fedora 10 before
Anaconda had started.
I'm wondering if perhaps there isn't something wrong with the initrd
image?
