Fedora 11 Release Party Monday 15 June @ Linux Caffe

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

| From: Andrew Overholt <overholt-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA at public.gmane.org>

| Sorry for the incredibly short notice, but this evening at 6 PM at the
| Linux Caffe (Harbord & Grace in Toronto) we'll be hosting a Fedora 11
| release party.

Thanks, Andrew (and DJP) for inviting us.

We dropped by and ended up staying for a couple of hours.

Andrew worked hard at getting F11 to work on my oddball notebook (Averatec 
AV1020).

X worked when we supplied the kernel parameter "nomodeset".  

The Ralink RT2500 wireless chip did not seem to work (no fix yet).  
Andrew found this Bugzilla entry: 
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457441

The touchpad didn't work (no fix yet; usb mouse should work).  Andrew
did try some fixes (that I don't really understand).  Apparently X
input is handled by a new system now.

Andrew figured out how to use "accessability" features of the desktop
to simulate mouse movement with the notebook's simulated numeric
keypad.

Thanks, Andrew, for all the help.

We enjoyed smoothies and wraps while this went on and came away with a
couple of F11 CDs.
