I have been (reluctantly) using the proprietary ATI driver from Livna on this computer up to this point. I updated it to F10 last night and it wouldn't finish booting at runlevel 5. (Kept flashing "Loading /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map" on the screen.) I rebooted again to runlevel 3 and ran "yum remove kmod-fglrx", then "yum upgrade". After that I rebooted again to runlevel 3 and logged back in to my usual desktop but the image was squished. That's the reason why I started using the proprietary ATI driver in the first place -- I couldn't get the open-source one to drive my screen at 1680x1050. I then ran system-config-display and told it to use the raedon driver instead of the vesa driver that it had defaulted to. (My card is an ATI X1550). When I logged out the whole shebang locked up so I had to restart it by turning the power off, but after I rebooted everything works fine at the proper resolution. So the moral of the story is, there's no longer any need to use the proprietary ATI video driver if you have a widescreen monitor. Which suits me fine. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com DRY CLEANER BUSINESS FOR SALE ~ http://www.canadadrycleanerforsale.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
