About a week ago I bought a brand new Dell Inspiron 15a (M5030) which comes with windows 7.
I partitioned with a systemrescue CD and started installing Fedora 15. Can't remember exactly what happend but DVD instalation didn't go write. At first boot system hang and I couldn't do anything. So I went with the KDE live CD and installed from there. Right now every thing is quite cool, except for some annoying things which I had figured out in my Compaq Presario with older versions of Fedora (14 before it died): Synaptics has some issues. Basically, I can't get the scrolling (on the right side of the touchpad) to work (on windows 7 it works, not as good as I would want it to, but it works), and the third button configuration (pressing both buttons would simulate the third button) which is very handy for copy and paste (also, selecting text from a console doesn't save it in the clip board). There's also another problem, but related to Dell. The function keys on the keyboard work the opposite way as on other laptops or even desktop multimedia keyboards (even on windows 7 in my case): when you press them, the execute the multimedia function (stop the wireless, up/down brightness, mute, etc.), and when pressing together with the Fn key, they work as old function keys (I use them a lot on KDE to change desktops, and to reload firefox html pages). Any one got a work around for these issues? -- Martín Marqués select 'martin.marques' || '@' || 'gmail.com' DBA, Programador, Administrador -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
