<p>This isn't directed at you personally Deependra, but after personally waiting</p>
<p>semi-patiently for the same issues to be addressed in F10 (not rawhide) I'm </p>
<p>also very disappointed at the lack of response.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Seems like some Redhat/Fedora developers have no clue that given the current </p>
<p>economic climate many Fedora users can't afford to throw away good working hardware</p>
<p>on a whim. Especially when that hardware worked fine on F8 and earlier, but now</p>
<p>fails to function with the buggy F10 and F11 Intel drivers. </p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Linux distributions used to be proud of their ability to provide solid support for</p>
<p>hardware that's "good enough" for a given task. This really has helped in situations</p>
<p>like schools, where obtaining new hardware is simply impossible... they are far more</p>
<p>concerned with not laying off the teacher.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Personally I've only had one week of functional F10 X from my the GX270 that usually</p>
<p>is my DNS and Samba server. I opened "[Bug 476578] New: X-Org will not start on Dell</p>
<p>GX270 (Intel 82865G) - [mi] EQ overflowing server" on Dec 15, and provided logs.</p>
<p>In spite of a setup that fails 100% of the time, and repeated updates with new logs</p>
<p>I've never been contacted to test code that may fix my problem. I've also noted</p>
<p>that I work from home every Friday and am available for test/debug. Nothing.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Many folks are having issues with the Intel X driver. A quick check of Google and the</p>
<p>X-Org mailing lists indicates that the problem is across all Linux distributions. This</p>
<p>driver supports a wide variety of built-in video setup for many older and newer PCs... </p>
<p>and these bugs are impacting a lot of users - especially the non-technical/new ones that</p>
<p>we need ensure receive a favourable impression of Linix.</p>
