A snapshot of my current desktop

Hi to all,
         Here is some info regarding the nouveau D.R.M and the driver.
When I was running the 2.6.31.103.rc4 kernel with Rawhide,and previously the
2.6.31.86 kernel,which I reported previously that I couldn't get to the
K.D.E
Desktop.When I got the 2.6.31.103.rc4 kernel via yum,I re-booted into it,but
the kernel would just lock-up on me.After a lot of recompiling and searching on
the web,I just decided to change the A.G.P speed from 8X which I've always
had
it running down to 4X and turned off Fast-Writes in my B.I.O.S.I then saved the
settings and rebooted into the 2.6.31.103.rc4 at that time.

And to my great surprise,the kernel booted fine! I got as far as K.D.M and
selected K.D.E.The strange thing is,the desktop doesn't look like a normal
K.D.E desktop.I'll try and upload an image of the desktop and the additional
info with this report.Also with this desktop I've got,there is no shutdown
option in the Kmenu I have to press Ctrl+Alt+F2 or F3 to get to that tty,log
into it and type in init 0 to shutdown or init 6 to restart.

I hope you'll find the information useful.

Regards,
       STEVE555

That "bug" relates to a pretty outdated version of nouveau. Described
usecase
should work fine with recent versions.
