I made the jump to FC6 over the long weekend--
Fresh install on a Dell Optiplex GX270 and installed all updates:

No fresh install on it, but the upgrade to FC6 is working great on the GX270 I am using. I have an Intel 82865G video however.


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?

s-c-display is pretty sensitive to out of the ordinary xorg.conf files and as you say, it will not save the changes if customization is too great or just enough for the program design not to function.

I do not know about problem 2 on up though.

Jim

Thanks for any help/suggestions/pointers....
