Hi Gang:
The mouse doesn't work work on new Acer; any ideas on how I can find it?
Apparently Fedora knows that the pad exists, but it is rendered useless
right now.
Thanks,
Richard

Sorry to hear that, I don't think it's the general experience (I've
tended to find hardware support is good these days). FWIW I'd say
CentOS is a better bet for an office environment anyway if someone
just needs a box, less frequent churn. Feel free to come back if you
ever do find yourself fighting with a Fedora system again.
If you're still here, here's my 2 cents: It takes a little while for one
with the right experience / knowledge to get to your questions. There are a
phenomenally fantastic group of people working on Fedora; they /we just
need time to get to your questions. Any number of reasons could keep one
from getting to your questions: family, vacations, work... Give us time?

I dont't know which issues the OP is having, but I occasionally am
facing "mouse is after reboot" with both FC19 and F20 on an older
netbook. Rebooting a couple of times seems to help.
I could be wrong, but I am inclined to be believe these situations seem
to occur after kernel updates.

Well, I just joined this list a few days ago, and will be leaving. I'd
joined, because we have three folks at work on fedora, and one, I'd updated
Mon? Tues? and rebooted... and that was all she wrote. No X, at all. After
fighting for a day and a half, with his ATI FirePro (xinit would open a
window, with no text/font at all, a black screen otherwise), we gave up on
that, and replaced it with an older NVidia card from '04, and after trying a
number of different drivers, none of which worked, I finally got the 304
legacy one, and *that* was broken - I had to run depmod myself, manually,
because until I did, modprobe couldn't find it - and the absolute best I
could do was start it from init 3 with startx, and *that* came up... but
runlevel 5 refused anything but a black screen.
So he needed a Linux box, and it took me 1.25 hrs to pxeboot him to a CentOS
6, which came up *perfectly*, no video issues at all. After three days of
fighting bleeding edge fc19.

In that case you're on the wrong list. F20 is unreleased and problems
should be discussed on the Test list.
And please don't cross-post to both lists. I only mention it because I
notice that you did that with another question, which may be why it hasn't
been answered yet. See the Guidelines.

In which case you're violating the Guidelines by cross-posting. I notice
you did this for another thread as well. Doing this means that people who
reply on different lists will not see each other's comments, which is why
it's frowned on.
