I'm testing F10 x86_64 (updated at today) with two machines:
- on a machine with an Asus EN 8600 GT Silent and I confirm that the
splash is spectacular with vga=0x318 and a 22" wide monitor.
It worths while to have something for detecting this!
- Instead, on a Dell laptop XPS M1330 with a GeForce 8400M GS I'm only
able to get the line at bottom... ;-(
tried some configs but noway. The screen is a 1280x800 capable 13.3" inches.
On both the driver is the one from rpmfusion:
akmod-nvidia-177.80-1.fc10.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-177.80-1.fc10.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.4-68.fc10.x86_64-177.80-1.fc10.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-177.80-1.fc10.x86_64

Any hint for the xps? I tried 0x323, 0x365....
It is fantastic how well the XPS behaves, also the intel wireless card
directly from installation, without external repositories, connected
to a wpa-psk access point.
Very user friendly. Many compliments for that!
