Updating via Livna nVidia did not completely fix the problem. As in the last time I upgrade I am now down to one monitor and I hate it! I feel so cramped! I’m still updating some stuff so hopefully this’ll be fixed soon.

While I’m at it….I don’t like the default Gnome icons for Fedora 7. I find them very ugly. Also the font used is very hurtful on my eyes. I wonder if that has to do with font patent/copyright issues.

I also noticed that, perhaps in preparation for the new Gnome control panel (which is not here by default), System is now divided into a bunch of groups. So System -> preferences has Personal, Look and Feel, Internet and Network, Hardware, and System. I REALLY like that instead of a long list of programs. I don’t have to hunt up and down to figure out what affects look and feel, for example. Great job there team!

But that’s my own fault. I thought about switching away from nVidia before updating, but I didn’t. So I’m updating - there’s 1 GB worth of updates. So when I get home today I need to install the nVidia drivers from Livna.

The upgrade went off without a hitch except for one thing: in grub, it did not make my FC7 kernel the default! And, obviously my FC6 kernel was gone. No biggie, just select F7 kernel in grub and you’re good.

Here’s a great mashup Remyyy created with vintage footage and a recent song. It matches up fairly nicely!
