Where might the anxious find these? I have an sl5 (another RHEL5 clone) system that's next to useless as there's no adequate support for graphics. I'd like to try 5.2 before I try it as a boat anchor.
Can you be more specific as to what you consider "adequate support for graphics"?
All of these: Framebuffer in xen works. X works Switching between virtual consoles and X works.
Those work fine on my Thinkcentre P IV running Sl5, and on my HP DC7700 running F8, but SL5 is a basket case.
On the Thinkcentre, "modprobe intelfb" gets framebuffer, I don't recall what, if anything, I had to do to f8, I'm running f9 and that lacks a dom0 kernel (but I have kvm).
Switching works as one would expect on the Thinkcentre (but "fbset --all" is advantageous).
Switching on SL5 gets various, somewhat random, video corruption in VCs and in X.
