You should see a small window (less than 1/4 of your screen) pop up. On my system it has four columns; the left column says "Desktop Computer"; the next two columns are empty; the fourth (right-most) column has very basic data about the Desktop computer. If I double click on the left-hand "Desktop computer" in column two I "Motherboard" and "Ethernet interface" are added. Double clicking on "Ethernet interface" gives me the data about the Ethernet interface in the right-most column. Double clicking on the "Motherboard" adds a whole list of motherboard components to the third column. Single clicking moves columns leftward, double clicking adds info to the fourth column. And so it goes ... If it's working, play with it to see all the possible data presentations. If it is not working as outlined above -- you've got a bug or some very very weird equipment. (That doesn't seem likely from what you have described). The gui could use some basic column titles and the ability to widen or narrow the columns. Practice using the little right pointing wedges to get additional info and using the up bottom on the tool bar to undue. -- Regards Bill; Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.2 Evo.2.22.2, Emacs 22.2.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
