Way to go!
I’m back, alive and happy! Just finished the last exam of high school and now I will have more free time. So Fedora 11 was released on Tuesday, and my first impression is: The ultimate awesomeness of the universe!
A lot of cool new features which just blew my mind away, but a few things I noticed right away were:
- fast fast fast. Blazing fast. Ext4 is doing a great job! You run it, it pops!
- kde 4.3B1 for kde-redhat-unstable users (special thanks goes to the KDE-SIG)
- cool plymouth theme (anyone know how to get it to work on nvidia cards without having to type vga=318 every time? adding it to /etc/grub.conf doesn’t seem to work)
- faster startup
These are only things I have personally noticed in the past 2 or 3 days with it, if you want a list of features, go to the fedora features list
All in all, I’m done with exams and I’m looking for some things to do! And my question is, dear lazy web, is there a list of wanted packages which I can look at and make some of them not-so-wanted?

Try nouveau.modeset=1 as a boot option and remove vga=foo stuff.

vga=318 doesnt work, it expects different notation should be vga=0×318 and then it will work.

Try ‘nouveau.modeset=1′ as a kernel parameter. It’s disabled by default as it’s still a bit radical to turn on for everyone. Probably will be on in F12.

No, that didn’t work. Any other ideas?
