FC2t3 on ACER 1353LM laptop
by Laurent GUERBY
Hi,
Here is a report of an install of FC2t3 on my laptop which
is otherwise happily running FC1 (with "hdc=ide-scsi acpi=no rhgb"):
- booted with "linux text noprobe", without noprobe
install freezes quite quickly (FC1 didn't need noprobe)
- selected stuff, launch install, it froze at about 21% of install
- rebooted with "linux text noprobe acpi=off noapic"
- install went successfully. I've seen:
dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21
...
dma time out error: status=0xd0 { Busy }
...
ide0: reset: success
May be I should use "ide=nodma", but it worked without anyway.
- install done, reboot, screen size and color selection in graphical
mode (vesa 1024x768 millions of color), I say ok but then screen goes
black and I can do nothing but power off/on.
- rebooting with FC1 and getting various logs from the FC2 partition,
attached below, together with their FC1 counterparts (easy to
distinguish now that it's named x.org :), and lspci/lspci -n output
from FC1.
Let me know if more information/trial/bugzilla/other list would be
useful, I can boot FC2 in "norhgb single" mode easily and try stuff
and/or send more logs.
Sincerely,
Laurent

Clean install success
by Elaine Normandy
I did a clean install from CDs without any problems. I was one of those
who had a problem booting from CD1 for Test 2. I've checked out all my
peripherals and they seem to be working:
Palm Pilot III
Epson Perfection 610 Scanner
ActionLaser 1500 (Had to use HP Laserjet 3 driver)
HP Deskjet 5550
Kodak DX3900 Digital Camera
I had a little difficulty with my backup data CD, but fortunately had
rsync'd my home directory to a local fileserver. Redundancy is a Good
Thing. Keeping a tar'd file of my old etc directory was also a good
thing, since I had to refer to it to configure the scanner.
I have a generic Athlon built by a local storefront six months ago, and
have been very pleased with how well Linux works on it, especially
considering all my peripherals were chosen before I decided to migrate
my personal desktop to Linux.

dell latitude d600 feedback - FC2 Test3
by Skahan, Vince
Some details regarding Test3 on a Dell Latitude D600 laptop in case
anybody can make any suggestions.
1. The sound works now. Wonderful !
2. My Orinoco Gold 802.11b card works great with 128bit WEP.
3. Adding rpms manually from a shell results in lots of complaints that
look like selinux stuff scrolling by, although I did not install
selinux
at all. The installation worked fine though. Also lots of syslog
messages,
many (many!) per second periodically.
Updating all the possible rpms via up2date worked fine via the gui,
although
I got prompted with a 'unknown gpg key, ok?' popup for each rpm.
I'm pretty
sure that I told it to import the key when initially prompted.
4. The xwindows setup results in a X config file that will only go to
800x600,
even though the display can run 1400x1250 easily. Where did the
'generic SVGA' card selection go ?
- I got the system to a nice 1024x768 mode by changing the video
card
to vesa and adding the higher resolution mode of course
- on control-alt-F1 to get out of Xwindows to a virtual console,
the screen
goes black with no cursor or way to get back, needed to pull
the battery
to crash the system
- when I log out of Xwindows, the screen goes black similarly,
need to pull
the battery to crash the system
- when I select 'shutdown' from Xwindows, same problem, pull the
battery time
- when I type "shutdown" in a xterm window, same problem, pull
the battery time
The 'need to pull the battery' thing is a show-stopper of course. Any
suggestions ?

Test 3 Is soooooo sweet! Good job ppl!
by ByteEnable
I just installed Test 3 on my laptop. Everything is looking good so far. Its
just finishing up an up2date from rawhide.
Dell Inspiron 5100
P4 2.6 GHz CPU
512MB DDR Ram
ATI Mobility 7500 64MB AGP Graphics
o I did notice that the first boot properly detected my screen resolution.
After finishing up first boot, gdm (I guess it was GDM) prompted me again on
display settings. Except that GDM said I only had max 800x600 when max is
1024. Sure enough the XF86Config file only had 800 and 600 resolutions. So
I manually added the "1024x768".
o Starting KDE gives me a "I cannot find sound server message". However,
sound worked with firstboot "Play Sound" test.

RE: dell latitude d600 feedback - FC2 Test3
by Skahan, Vince
Xwindows problem solved. All that's needed
on the D600 is to select a Dell LCD 1280x1024
as the display.
In Windows XP Pro's device manager, the video
comes out as Mobility Radeon 9000, with
windows running at 1400x1250 resolution
Here's the config file I came up with, seems
to work great....

GUI, Install vs Normal use
by Andrew Keyes
When I installed FC2 Test 3, the graphical install worked perfectly, but
once installed, I was unable to load a graphical interface. The screen
would flash a few times, then I would be given a problem with my mouse.
I expected it to work fine because the install GUI worked flawlessly.

FC2T3 iproute summary
by Will H. Backman
rpm -qi iproute
...The iproute package contains networking utilities (ip and rtmon, for
example) which are designed to use the advanced networking
capabilities of the Linux 2.2.x kernel.
Is this summary out of date, or is this an old package?
