I have always been following the kernels from Kernel:HEAD, but the kernel 3.7-rc2 has certain regressions to (as it seems) the KMS and/or graphics drivers. Once the 3.7 kernel is installed, you can see that plymouth is not as smooth running as on the 3.6 kernel. Once the desktop (in my case KDE) is up and running, things feels sluggish as if either the video buffer or the disk i/o is slower. I know that at this moment the 3.7 kernel is not in Factory, but I would like to point this issue out as that I have heard from more people that they have a similar experience. I am running a Lenovo T410 Thinkpad (with an I5 and Intel graphics) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
