You would think that they should call it i686 now instead of i386....

[RahulSundaram]

Droidhacker,

Release engineering doesn't think it is worth the effort. It is just cosmetics anyway.

Whole USB stack is broken for USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family), for example HP 6830s uses this.

if your mouse is dead on install, boot with option intel_iommu=off

I tried out Fedora 12 LXDE
on a Toshiba Centrino core2duo, 1280x800 LCD pretty standard...
got blank screen after startup.

Regular release 12 works fine on this machine.

I would like to know if there is a switch/key I can press on startup to change screen modes or something.

I tried to create a x86_64 Live USB from the Live CD image using the live-usb creator (and unetbootin).
The image does not boot on a Toshiba Satellite that has Fedora 11 (x86_64) installed. The error message is:

[drm: drm_mode_rmfb] *ERROR* tried to remove a fb that we didn't own
Boot has failed, sleeping forever.

i'm excited to use still.

We believe we have fixed this problem in the -127 kernel update and a few people have positively confirmed this issue.

Even with F12 64bit fully updated (including latest kernel 5-127), I can only synk Jpilot as root . I tried several solutions provided for previous fedoras without success .

Hello Everyone,

Have updated all four of my systems to the 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE kernel. All systems are A-okay! :v)

The iBus interface works like a charm for my anthy purposes.

My default screen mode is 1280x720.

Looking forward to the final release!!! :~)
