This is true, but to the extent that some people can't use the recent kernel
until a working video driver is available, it is a Fedora issue. Updates which
have security implications really shouldn't have to run in R/L 3 as text only. I
don't need 3D accelerated anythings to run a few simple xterms and load
monitoring, but not having X at all is an upgrade stopper. I'm running radeon,
but more than a few systems which ran well on FC9 need to use VESA modes or even
a laptop a VNC. The support for ATI and Nvidia hardware only a few years old is
spotty at best.
Good suggestion, though, he won't get any help here.
I am finding it hard to deal with as RPMFusion and Fedora are two
seperate thing but when it blocks a update then yes I do think it is a
Fedora issue.
Anyway I have waiting to do
The problem is that there is a kmod but instead of 195.36.31-2 the label
for the new kmod 195.36.31-1
This is confusing as the driver does not end with -1 but a -2
Thanks for agreeing anyway
