Fedora 11 update created Login problem

This week (10/9/2009), a F11 update introduced GDM and KDM login problems on users with active options on Desktop Effects.

The symptoms were:

• Password entered.
• Screen changed, as if logon was successful.
• Screen blacked out.
• Logon screen presented again.

Disabling Desktop Effects appears to solve this problem.

Video Resolution solved

I just managed to conclude the articles on the Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 video resolution limitation to 800x600 problem. It's now possible to set resolution to the full 1024x768 supported by the LCD display. You can find these articles here:

Next, I'll dedicate my attention to the ZTE MF636DB (also referred as MF636) USB adapter that provides Mobile Broadband. I expect that this article will take somewhat longer to conclude.

Video Resolution problem

My next text on Fedora 11 Configuration will be about the Video Resolution problem on the Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600.

The video card is a Trident Video Accelerator Cyber Blade XP Ai1 v6.4022-016b.22 ICDNP.

A few tips can be found at the following pages:

I'll insert the step-by-step instructions at Fedora 11 Configuration as soon as possible.

Fedora 11 Linux experience

I started using Fedora 11 shortly after the final release was launched. Yet, I've been using other Linux distribuitions and releases for many years.

From this experience, I concluded that it's important to have a record of all the tweaks made to Linux installations. I started those records on paper, a small booklet/notepad that I keep with my own annotations on several subjects.

After a while, I realized that:

• It's not practical.
• Won't be helpful to anyone else.

Therefore I decided that I should place all this information online, thus helping myself and others (hopefully).

The result is this blog, that tracks random events on my F11 experience, and a site that aggregates information, and can be found at http://sites.google.com/site/fedora11config/.
