OK, I just upgrated to fedora 10. I've already filed some bug reports,
but here's some feedback.
1) FC9 preupgrade didn't work. It left the /var off of the cache
location. I had to fix it manually and reboot.
2) nv driver is broken with my card. Bug filed on that, so I won't go
into too much further detail, except to say it doesn't detect ANY video ram.
3) One thing I would really, really like - and I'm half tempted to just
write it myself - is a tool to take the stock fedora kernel and build a
new one - with the options that *I* want. Building a new kernel is a
pain in the kiester, and the lack of a good tool to do so (I'm not aware
of one and a quick search on freshmeat doesn't turn one up) is kind
of... surprising, considering that the kernel has been around for so
many years. Is it that much of a black art?
4) KMS seems cool, but it doesn't work on my card, so it falls back to
a lame progress bar on the bottom of the screen. Can we be a little
more informative than that? It didn't even tell me I could press
escape, I had to figure that out on my own.
Other than that fact that I can't get X to working properly either with
the proprietary or free drivers, seems pretty cool. However, *that* is
a showstopper.
