I made the jump to FC6 over the long weekend--
Fresh install on a Dell Optiplex GX270 and installed all updates:
Most initial problems have been worked out, but I have a few gremlins...
1. Running a Radeon 7000/VE card with two monitors connected via the DVI splitter. System->Admin->Display will allow me to configure the second monitor, but it will not save the configuration (the button simply does nothing-- xorg.conf is not written). I pulled my xorg.conf file from backups (when machine was running FC2 and that config works-- although I do have some sparkles depending on how "busy" the displays are). I have not downloaded any proprietary drivers-- should I?
2. Test sounds worked fine after install, but I can't seem to get the microphone working. I'm trying to get Skype (FC5 version) working again. I've tried various mixers -- enabling the mic and setting the level up-- no go.
3. I'm running Netbackup Client (vers 4.5FP6) on this system. If I try to select any files from within xbp (the X-based recovery tool), it immediately segfaults. I had to play some library games (ln -s libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2) to get it working at all.
4. Is there a version of the /etc/mailcap file that takes full advantage of all the stuff in OpenOffice?? I've installed the mailcap package, but the file is pretty thin (e.g., no entry to launch oocalc for XLS files). I can't believe someone hasn't been down this path before...
Thanks for any help/suggestions/pointers....
