Fedora 11 on Xnote LT20 and more

Task done so far:
  • Replaced Windows XP by Fedora 11 on a client's Toshiba Satellite that works out of box except media hotkeys.
  • Completed an article of Fedora 11 for a small magazine editor.
  • Installed Fedora 11 on LG Xnote LT20.
Installing Fedora 11 on LT20 note had some trouble start like DVD freezing on first try after doing the test. A second try went smoothly. For the first time, I was able to see the smooth transition of boot process to the login screen unlike my Nvidia powered desktop.
Power management works well although the battery consumption seems to be higher than usual (maybe I need to replace it). Suspend and Hibernate flawlessly work. The screen made from Wacom technology works out of box, I only need to set up Gimp and Inkscape to support screen mode although I wish the support is done automatically.
Rotating screen was the problem because of the transition went flaky as the width went off screen. The button for rotation will not be recognized and will not work at all. I will submit a bug report when I will get a chance

gnome-shell useless with nouveau driver

Running rawhide 20090924 from desktop system , I test gnome-shell to explore its features (seems Activities name is inspired from Sugar interface . Very disappointing because the shell needs hardware acceleration i.e 3D support. Even Sugar interface did a much better job despite its simple look. Picture speaks itself.

No network on Fedora 9 x86_64 follow up

Following my post related to NetworkManager . I have found out about the workaround. If you have x86_64 system with 4GB support enabled, you should disable it in order to make NetworkManager work. I am not sure if that bug affects other distributions so, possibly the bug may be related to the x86_64 kernel. Let see if my theory can be verified.
