Andrew

latest updates are a mess..

If I switch to nouveau driver, system crashes at start-up. with a list of
errors....
But furthermore yumex is not working any more and I do not remember on any
recent yumex update: if I start yumex in a terminal, it asks for root
password and then idles..
S-c-d when started on a blank screen it shows resolution of 800x600 even if
I am running on 1024x768!!!! and this is my xorg.conf file.
Buttons of mouse are crazy!!!!

# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display
