WARNING:DO NOT UPGRADE TO CORE 4

[Steven W. Orr]

The problems with it are a mile long and I'm very disappointed that I 
upgraded my home machine.

* I run Majordomo2 which is a great mailinglist manager. Not all my
   mail is getting delivered and I'm getting messages with blank
   bodies. No one else seems to be having this problem. I'm not sure
   what I can do now. It could be perl, or worse, it could be gcc
   which was used to build perl.

* I have a Palm IIIc connected on a serial port. pilot-link woks ok
   but all software that uses pilot-link (jpilot, kpilot, gnome-pilot)
   are all unable to connect to the device. No one knows why. I
   suspect gcc.

* I have a Dell Dimension 4700 at work. The upgrade went fine from
   Core 3 to 4. Afterwards, I went to start X and it failed. The
   xorg.conf file was identical both before and after the upgrade,
   including after running system-config-display --configure. The fix,
   after a team of people poured 6 hours into it was to not use the
   VESA driver that it used before. The correct choice is to use the
   i810 driver. The writeup for it is here:

I've had good and bad upgrade experiences before, but this is
killing me. My home machine is my domain server and it's been pretty
badly crippled because of the mail problems. I can still use my palm
but it's a new experience in being crippled.
