I don't get any errors on this computer related to a secondary adapter.
X does start up very slowly though when I first try to start X using
runlevel 3 and startx from the terminal. This is with an Intel i815
video card w/ 64 MB video memory also.
I get the below excerpt: dmesg
Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected an Intel i815 Chipset.
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 438M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xf8000000
There is no secondary video device message in dmesg.
X works fine after it gets up and running for me. It is the first boot
that is the only problem here.
I've just reinstalled FC1 to make sure it's not a

The spacial feature is easily overridden. (as desired user using
gconf-editor) :-)
I like the new (or at least just noiced this feature)
"edit > select pattern" feature. I just started using firefox and it
downloaded everything to $HOME. I had to move the stuff to a different
location. (rpms for multimedia). I like moz because of it prompting for
a location instead of just blindly downloading stuff w/o prompting the
user for a download location. It did allow me to use the pattern match
option though.
