Fedora 7 on the Dell X1 - discussion
June 11th, 2007 04:22 by MartinYesterday I installed Fedora 7 on my Dell Latitude X1. Previously, I have runned Fedora Core 4, Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6. Check out what I’ve written and discussed about those versions on my Linux on a Dell X1 page or from the sidebar.
This post is dedicated to the discussion around the Fedora 7 page (which is not called Fedora Core 7, as the “core” and the “extras” now have been merged).
The good news about Fedora 7 on the Dell Latitude X1, is that most of the stuff simply works out of the box - finally! No more tweaks to get the widescreen resolution right (aka 915resolution video bios patching) Even 3D desktop eye candy with Beryl in KDE works without any hassle.
I haven’t been able to test it thoroughly yet, but it even seems like the ACPI stuff works out out the box, using the KPowersave applet. No more fiddling around with the sleep scripts, yay!
