Fedora Core 2

Hurray, the upgrade from FC1 was as smooth as I could only dream of. Despite the fact that a lot of GNOME packages I had were not Fedora’s original ones (BTW, thanks to Matt Hall for his GNOME repository). Also, thanks to him again for the latest bunch of the shiny new GNOME packages for FC2.

Bad important news: x.org server is broken in FC2. There is missing link from xorg.xml to xfree86.xml – it causes problems for people having XkbRules “xfree86”.

Also, I recently discovered serious xkb problem with Accelerated X – it does not set XKB_RULES_NAMES. GNOME 2.6 simply NOT going to work with broken XKB implementations (while it should work without XKB at all – so just disable XKB if it is broken).

XKeyboardConfig

So, the announce of 0.1 is made. Now all we can do is wait for feedback from the communities.
