Fedora 12 Constantine --> Fedora 13 Goodard via preupgrade

Français


La transition de Constantine à Goddard via preupgrade s'est effectué avec succès. Le plus important est de définir la taille de la section /boot à 500 Mo afin de faciliter le processus. À cause du bogue dans le paquet xorg-x11-drv-wacom, Le stylus ne fonctionnait pas sur la tablette (Tablet PC), une mise à jour en utilisant le dépot update-testing a reglé ce problem. En tout, le système est operationnel sans encombre. De plus, la nouvelle version de gnome-shell est tres fluide et utilisable.

Finally, the new gnome-shell version is smoother and usable.

The graphical part of Raven Ridge is Vega 8, basically a cut-down of Vega56 or Vega64 meaning choosing either driver for RX Vega . The instruction is provided for extracting the rpm files but here is  some requirements for OpenCL: kernel-devel (provided by Fedora repository) amdgpu-dkms dkms libopencl-amdgpu-pro opencl-amdgpu-pro-icd Once done, applications needing OpenCL will automatically detect the driver located on /opt/amdgpu/lib64 . Blender will list as unknown AMD GPU and Darktable will enable it. OpenCL from official AMD driver enabled on Darktable ...

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.

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.
