I have an onboard intel chip that normally uses the i810 driver. I figured it's probably not using acceleration and glxinfo showed DRI = no at one point, now when I run glxinfo X crashes alltogether. However if I boot off the Live cd everything is perfect. That's the weird thing. With the live cd there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf meaning that X uses builtin configuration for my video chip and that works very well. I don't understand why the full- fledged F9 doesn't do the same. Also, if I boot in runlevel 5, sound works. In runlevel 3 it doesn't. Yeah, and there's no sound configuration tool anymore. I'm downloading CentOS as we speak. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
