Re: Fedora 12 Graphics Issues: Cancel F13 and concentrate on fixing F12 ?

It seems likely no updates will appear and in F13 the whole ball game may have changed anyway. Seems a bunch of incorrect assumptions considering that Fedora 11 did get many updates and I already see updates for Fedora 12 in updates-testing repository. Specific bug reports are definitely going to help. Rahul Sorry, should have been more specific. On the graphics package front, there have been no ATI or Intel X11 driver updates in F11 so far.

If only the 32-bit version was smart enough to install a 64-bit kernel when appropriate, this would not be such a disaster.
