I just switched to FC1 on my main workstation yesterday, and so far so
good. Kudos to the developers - keep up the great work!
The only problem I ran across was with my dual-headed Matrox G-450 video
card. Symptoms were very inconsistent. Upon initial power-on with the
first CD, when trying to launch X for the graphical install - the box
locked hard. Okay, I'll just install using text mode - I got all the
way through the install, then upon firstboot, X wouldn't start. The box
didn't lock, but I couldn't do anything since by default, init 5 is
spawned. I'll give this one more shot - I rebooted with the install CD,
this time X worked - at least for the install, but again during
firstboot it wouldn't. At this point, I decided that it was a driver
issue and pulled the card. I installed my ATI Radeon 9000 - graphical
install works, X starts during firstboot, no problems whatsoever. Just
wanted to pass along the problem that I had. Right now I'm just using
the one monitor, but I'll be testing out a second vidcard later today -
I'll keep everyone posted.
Thanks,
Mike
