Some details regarding Test3 on a Dell Latitude D600 laptop in case anybody can make any suggestions.
1. The sound works now. Wonderful !
2. My Orinoco Gold 802.11b card works great with 128bit WEP.
3. Adding rpms manually from a shell results in lots of complaints that look like selinux stuff scrolling by, although I did not install selinux at all. The installation worked fine though. Also lots of syslog messages, many (many!) per second periodically.
Updating all the possible rpms via up2date worked fine via the gui, although I got prompted with a 'unknown gpg key, ok?' popup for each rpm. I'm pretty sure that I told it to import the key when initially prompted.
4. The xwindows setup results in a X config file that will only go to 800x600, even though the display can run 1400x1250 easily. Where did the 'generic SVGA' card selection go ?
- I got the system to a nice 1024x768 mode by changing the video card to vesa and adding the higher resolution mode of course
- on control-alt-F1 to get out of Xwindows to a virtual console, the screen goes black with no cursor or way to get back, needed to pull the battery to crash the system
- when I log out of Xwindows, the screen goes black similarly, need to pull the battery to crash the system
- when I select 'shutdown' from Xwindows, same problem, pull the battery time
- when I type "shutdown" in a xterm window, same problem, pull the battery time
The 'need to pull the battery' thing is a show-stopper of course. Any suggestions ?
