Journal Sax Maniac's Journal: Fedora 10 FTW!

After Fedora 9 being mostly a disaster, the upgrade Fedora 10 was comparatively smooth sailing.

My work box has a dual-head display NON XINERAMA and getting this working has been an exercise in progressive breakage. It worked fine ages ago, but as more folks get dual-displays that are driven different ways (Xinerama, dual-output-cards, etc) then the old perfectly working ways get broken.

Win:
preupgrade solves a lot manual problems with yum.
TightVNC now works again without screwing with the font path manually!
TightVNC now works on my :0.1 display without being ridiculously slow!
Everything seems a bit faster.
I can use Firefox with Flash 10.

Lose:
Virtual terminals still don't work, they're blank.
KDE 4 still sucks, still is slow, and still doesn't understand dual-head. It puts a task bar in the middle of the screen. Thank you. I'm still stuck with GNOME.
GNOME has trouble starting up nautiulus, and needs to be manually started. Something about bonobo-activation-server. Jeez, GNOME has enough problems leaving these retarded daemons all over the place when you're done using GNOME, and now it can't start it?
Fonts on the second display get garbled, with Flash + Firefox.

That's pretty good. A bunch of wins, and only one new bug.

For now.
