Enabled updates-testing in my rawhide editing
/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo
Determining fastest mirrors in yum update command gives
* updates-testing: ftp.unina.it
I verified that the mirror selected has the new packages (such as kde
4.1.3), but still I'm not proposed the new packages with yum update.
tried also yum clean all but nothing changes...
Any hints?

In the
same file (/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates-testing.repo) comment
out mirrorlist parameter, and uncomment baseurl. Or just wait two days.
Note - the same change is required for fedora-updates.repo. But it
would be better to revert those changes right after fedora 10 release.

I have the following issues:
Annaconda
My monitor can go to 1600 by 200, Annaconda selects it. My eyes cannot go, even with
glasses, to 1600x200, Why not select 1024x768, so that one can watch the progress with
crt monitor or with wide aspect ration flat Panel?
Before giving the go-ahead to start the installation, it would be nice to tell the user
how many files will be installed and to allow a review. (The right click on details to
choose all is dangerous (and not documented as a great feature) -- After right clicking my
areas of interest, I ended up with 2700+ files, and many hours of downloads. All went
well.)
Default Display Screen Size.
After DVD removal and reboot to create users, again resolution is painfully small.
System Time Update
I chose to use automatic time update, but Selinux blocks it. Actually, user network is not
up until later in his logon. I am not certain what that means.
No Init_1
During boot, all displays take place on the initial display (I call it ctl-alt-F1). I
have not found the way to watch the log roll by, or to do a step by step startup. (I may
require bypassing a module, and StepByStep is important)
Setting Screen Resolution (user Preferences)
I have a 21 inch monitor, but I want to use the first 4/3 aspect ratio above the 1024/768.
Fedora switches to it ok, but I need a full set of refresh rates, so I can properly align
the display in the window (The setting I chose works with UBUNTU on the same system).
Shutdown system, and ctl-alt-Fx virtual consoles
Resolution is 400x200 on black screen instead of a suitable terminal resolution. No
information about how to set the console display resolution to at least 120 characters
lines per line.
This is the default chosen for the asus video card (ATI). My installation currently is
"Out of the box--No Rawhide" and will be waiting for the released version later
this week. (It is already pushed to the mirrors for tomorrows opening of floodgates)
Using Gnome, I am blocked from logging directly to root.
Most of the time, I find it faster to do things via gui interface then via commandline.
Since I cannot log to the system with Root privledges, functionalty is lost.
Audio feedback when system is booted.
From poweron to logon screen ready, Fedora used to provide a System
ready sound configuration. Now, deadly silence. One has to watch the screen, instead of
waiting to hear the ready signal. (Works correctly with UBUNTU).
Hope that these are teething problems only. Otherwise I don't know what I would do.

Anaconda detects your hardware, including monitor capabilities, and acts
accordingly.

You can instruct SELinux to allow that, but I admit it's generally a major
PITA.

You can set up Gnome to accept root logins (although not recommended).

I think anaconda should use some "reasonable value" checking, and choose the
default which is 4:3, 16:9, or 5:4 aspect ratio, no more than 1024 high. This
gives priority to the human, who can then change the selection if s/he can only
read the screen!

This is all part of the same issue, isn't it? That part of the install has yet
to work in a user friendly manner on any of my machines.

You have something set up wrong. I have all the video problems, but sound works.
At least as well as PulseAudio ever works...

The common widescreen computer panel ratio is 16:10, not 16:9 (used for
US HD TV, but not many install connected to a TV).
It would be nice if maybe the first screen in anaconda had a few buttons
for different resolutions. I know keeping the installer simple is a
primary goal, but I have run into the "too small to read" font before as
well as the other extreme of "fonts half an inch tall".

Bill, Sound appears after logon, and it would be nice to appear as a introduction just as
the logon screen is presented.
It used to work that way before pulse audio.

New subject: F10 Problems with ATI HD3450
These problems are due to hardware drivers.
My first problem is with the new ATI HD3450 card (a Jan 2008 model) for which testong any
of the drivers listed in the system-->administrati0n-->display[hardware
tab][VideoCard Configure] with any of the selected from
"ati,fglrx,radeon,radeonhd" did not function well. radeonhd was ok for gnome,
but not for the virtual console, which came in at 320 by 200 resolution.
I found the latest ATI driver at the ATI website and downloaded and installed it. Prior to
doing that download, backup your xorg.conf, if you have one.
Then, after completing the execution, if there is an xorg.conf in /etc/X11 rename it as
your video may fail to initiate.
All that did for me was correct the virtual display, so it was no longer 320 by 200.
I am trying to get compiz working, as proof positive that the display is ok.
Do keep the boot dvd around in case you have to use the rescue option.
