Hi, I just upgraded from RedHat9 to Fedora Core 1. The upgrade itself was easy. However I didn't meet the package selection in the installer... Did I simply miss the option? These are the issues I encountered: 1. I had to install the following drivers: a) proprietary NVIDIA c) alsa At first it didn't work at all, then I noticed that I must use gcc32 to compile, this wasn't very clear from the release notes. I had a problem with compiling the alsa driver (schedule_work), but google groups was my friend. BTW before trying to fix alsa, I tried sndconfig, which detected the onboard soundcard before my SB Live!. I would have preferred to choose the order the soundcards are configured. 2. At first starting, the GNOME desktop was in a mess. I moved .gnome2 out of the way. I previously always used sawfish, but that didn't work at all. The background was gray overlaying the Nautilus icons. So I installed metacity. However I prefer sawfish, because it allows better control of window placement. I have two screens configured with Xinerama. The first screen is 1600x1200, the second 1280x1024. With Gnome 2.2 and Sawfish, I could place a panel at the bottom of the second screen. This I can no longer do. I can place a panel at the top and at the right, but not at the bottom. (BTW I miss the rounded edges of the menu panel :-( 3. Xcursor doesn't work anymore. I don't get any shadowed and animated cursors anymore. 4. I don't get antialiased fonts in KDE and Qt anymore. Gnome/GTK is ok. Otherwise FC1 is fine.
